Can I order mason bees when it's cold?Updated 2 months ago

While the mason bees can overwinter in cold temperatures, if the temperatures are extreme they cannot be put outside. If you receive your cocoons now, we recommend placing them in the refrigerator at temperatures between 35-38 degrees until the weather warms up and they can be placed outdoors in their habitat. 

You can also order now and add a future ship date to your order as long as your requested ship date is in between now and the end of March.
