These beauties are handmade by Gord Hutchings of Hutchings Bee Service after years of research and design refinement by Gord and his father.

We have them in stock now and are selling them for $35.
We also offer classes from Gord to teach you more about how to care for your mason bees, how to attract native pollinators to your garden and more! Stay tuned for our 2015 workshop schedule for more details on our workshops.
