Care and overwintering
For the well-being of your mason bees
The BeeHome allows you to experience the interplay of nature, and that includes parasites. Parasites generally fulfill important functions in natural ecosystems. However, they can pose a risk to your mason bees.
By sending in your inner box for wild bee care, you reduce the risk of a parasitic infestation decreasing your mason bee population. Next spring, you will then receive a starter population with mason bee cocoons.
In our wild bee statistics, you can see your personal propagation success as well as the average degree of parasitism in the mason bee population in Switzerland. You can download an extensive overview of parasites & other visitors to the BeeHome via this link.
