Leafcutter Bee Cocoons

Immediate dispatch 

IMPORTANT: Upon arrival you will need to store your cocoons in your refrigerator (this is important for pest and disease control) until temperatures in your area become consistently warm (20-25+ degrees). This is usually from September onwards, your cocoons can then be placed into your bee home to begin their development process. 

Kickstart Your Leafcutter Bee Population: 

To jumpstart your leafcutter bee colony, we've included 7 grams of leafcutter bee cocoons, which equates to approximately 70 individual cocoons*. These cocoons hold the potential for a vibrant population of bees around your garden, ready to embark on their vital pollination duties. Witness the remarkable lifecycle of these incredible insects as they emerge from their cocoons and diligently forage in your garden.

*Due to the nature of dealing with a live insect, we allow for approximately a 10% (give or take) non emergence rate, this is normal and expected. To counteract this as best as we can, we throw in an additional 0.5 grams of cocoons (5 cocoons) for free to each order. 

 If you are looking to complement your existing bee population and Leafcutter bee home (only recommended for use with our bee homes with the correct size nesting tubes 6mm) these cocoons are the key to a thriving, buzzing garden.

Instructional Guide Included: To ensure your journey with Leafcutter bees is smooth and successful, we've included a handy fridge magnet which can be scanned leading to our comprehensive instructional guide. From setting up your garden space to caring for your leaf-cutting friends, our guide has got you covered every step of the way.

Compatible with Gentle Bee Co Home: For the best success in hosting Leafcutter bees, we highly recommend using our Gentle Bee Co Home. It's designed with the comfort and well-being of your bees in mind, creating the perfect environment for their pollination activities.

Check out our Leafcutter Bee Home Garden Starter Kits, which include not only the cocoons but also a bee home, paper nesting tubes, and a full instructional guide.

Removable Nesting Material for Easy Maintenance: We recommend using removable nesting material that allows you to fully harvest the cocoons if your Leafcutter Bees chose to nest in your bee home.

Disclaimer:

•  The Purpose of the Leafcutter Bee Home Garden Starter Kit is to provide additional pollination to your home garden. 

• Gentle Bee Co will provide instructions on how to harvest bees that may choose to nest inside the nesting tubes / bee home provided, as we have custom designed the Bee Homes and Nesting Tubes specifically with leafcutter bees in mind. These Bee Homes and Nesting Tubes should match the description provided on our website.

• Despite the custom design of the Bee Home and Nesting Tubes, leafcutter bees can have a mind of their own! Although we ensure the dimensions of the nesting tubes will suit the nesting requirements of Leafcutter Bees, Gentle Bee Co cannot guarantee that the bees will choose to nest within the Nesting tubes / Bee Home provided as they may choose somewhere more favourable within your garden to nest. This is not a bad thing, and will not impact at all on their purpose to provide additional pollination within your home garden.
