How the Mason Bee Buy Back Works

1. Contact Us: We start taking Bees in November. Please email us at masonbeesforsale.com.  Include your name where the bees have come from and how many you have. 
2. Harvested cocoons preferred ratio: If you harvested (reimbursed at a higher rate), please send both small (male) and large (female) cocoons. The preferred ratio is 8 females:12 males.
3. Pack and mail: Ship loose Mason bee cocoons or unharvested, filled tubes or reeds, padded with paper. Standard USPS is fine; expedited shipping is not necessary. Shipping costs are at your expense.
   
   Mailing more than 1,500 cocoons? Large quantities can build up heat during transit. Place ~1 cup of cocoons into a sandwich bag, leave air in the bag, seal, and use multiple bags. Add spacers or air-filled bags between them in the box.
4. We receive and verify: We open (and harvest if applicable) and inspect each cocoon for pests and disease, then count viable cocoons. You'll receive email explaning what we find and what the total value is of your bees.
