Collection: Bee Nesting Tubes

In our opinion, Phragmite reeds are the best nesting tubes for solitary bees.

Sometimes called natural bee tubes, Phragmite reeds are naturally occurring plants that get harvested into bee nesting tubes.

They do cost a little more than the cardboard tubes do but the tradeoff is that the bees really, really like nesting in them.
