Bee Nesting Tubes - Spring Mason Bee Phragmite Reeds
Natural phragmite reeds are the perfect choice for your native solitary bee house needs, whether you are just getting started or are in need of a refill.
Spring mason bees love the length and varying diameters of these reeds. Even better, one end comes capped (they were cut at the reeds node) making one less step for you to take and they naturally push water away making them more weather safe than some other options. Reeds can be easily opened with a knife or razor and a simple turn of the wrist at the end of the season to get the bee cocoons out safe and sound. The best part is they are naturally sustainable and earth friendly!
Most reeds measure 5" - 6" in length.
Reed diameter ranges from 5/16" - 7/16"
Bundles of 25, 50, or 100 can be ordered. (For larger orders please contact me!)
Sourced proudly in the USA.

Nice reeds, decently priced. I’ll buy them again.
They are more variable in size than say Crown Bee’s tubes, and a little more likely to have semi crushed openings. That is to say the bees get a bit of variety in every pack, and that can be good.
Great reeds. They are more variable in size and are less “polished” than some, so not “reeds trying to be straws.” Some are quite thin walled and I suppose may need to be excluded if you have mono wasps.
The reeds are natural in appearance and have variation I hope will be appealing to and aid in localization for the bees!
Perfect for your solitary bee nursery
Thank you so much for your order! I am so glad the reeds were what you were looking for and if you need anything else, please let me know:)
Very nice quality and they arrived quickly.
