Bambeco Mason Bee Barn w/ butterfly shelter NEW !!!!

Description

Bambeco Mason Bee Barn-Got as a gift, never used. New without tags. See can of Soda for size reference.  This is the larger sized one.
Product Overview
The Mason Bee Barn is hand-crafted from 100% FSC certified(Forest Stewardship Council) solid pine wood and bamboo and is sealed with a nontoxic, water-based finish. It attracts non-stinging native bees that are not aggressive. Native bees are the most prolific pollinators on our planet. Unlike honey bees, there is no colony with workers, there are no swarms, and they do not produce honey. Their sole focus is pollination, and they make friendly, non-aggressive neighbors. Once a native female bee establishes her home in this bee house, she will lay her eggs filling the tubes with nourishment, and seal off the entrance so her young can safely grow. The native bee life span is a single season so her young are next season's pollinators who help create our food supply and make our gardens beautiful.
