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.
Summer bees, like leafcutters, love the length and the smaller 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. 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 1/4" - 5/16"
Bundles of 25, 50, or 100 can be ordered. (For larger orders please contact me!)
Sourced proudly in the USA.

I re-ordered these because they were so successful last Spring/Summer in attracting the bees. Down side: I didn't have enough to fill our bee house (already purchased by you all). A house wren thought it made a cozy nesting site, so it made a nest on top of the reeds, rendering them not useable due to possible mite infestations. I ordered extra this winter and I plan to put some kind of chicken wire on the front to avoid critters removing them!
Exactly what I needed!
Good quality and arrived promptly.
o. k. very fast shipping
