Ready to Pollinate for the Summer!

Transform your garden with our gentle Summer Leaf bees (aka Leafcutter bees), which are 100X more efficient at pollination than honey bees. These amazing pollinators can double or triple your fruit and vegetable yields, perfect for melons, cucumbers, beans, sunflowers, strawberries, and all summer-blooming plants.

Why Choose Summer Leaf Bees?

• High Yield Potential: These bees thrive in temperatures of 75°F (24°C) and above, making them ideal for summer gardens.
• Generous Quantity: Each order includes 200+ cocoons, providing plenty of pollinators for your garden. Leaf bees naturally disperse more than Mason bees, so the extra cocoons ensure strong pollination coverage.
• Incubated and Ready to Hatch: Your Summer Leaf bees are pre-incubated and ready for immediate outdoor placement. Some bees may emerge within a few days, while others may take up to 10 days.
• Active for 4-6 Weeks: For extended pollination, consider two shipments spaced 4 weeks apart for 8-12 weeks of productivity.

Summer Leaf Bee Care

• Nesting Materials: Use 6 mm diameter nesting tubes or reeds.
• Leaf Sources: Summer Leaf bees use non-fibrous leaves like rose, lilac, or hosta to protect their eggs. Providing plants like peas, beans, or strawberries gives them ample resources.
• Flowering Plants: Ensure your garden has blooming plants for pollen when the bees are active.
