Honest note: a neglected bee house becomes a disease trap. If you will not clean the tubes each year, skip the bees and just plant the flowers — habitat you do not maintain can do more harm than good.
Questions, answered
Where should I hang the bee house?
East or southeast facing, morning sun, about 5 ft up, sheltered from rain. The guide has placement diagrams.
Do I need to maintain the bee house?
Yes — replace or clean the tubes yearly to prevent mites and disease. Reusable liners make this easy.

Why we grow it this way
Let the good bugs do the pest control
A garden with the right insects mostly defends itself. This kit builds habitat for the allies: a mason bee house for 60+ tubes, a ladybug and lacewing shelter, a ceramic butterfly puddling dish, and five packets of insect-attracting flowers. An illustrated guide helps you tell the 30 common garden insects that help from the ones that hurt.
Fewer sprays, more pollinators, a garden that balances itself.
What growers say
Mason bees moved right in
Within a month tubes were being capped. The flower seeds brought in ladybugs and my aphid problem vanished. Lovely, useful kit.
Great, commit to the cleaning
Everything is well made. The ID guide is genuinely handy. Just be ready to clean the tubes annually or the note is right — skip the bees.
