Pay nothing now. We print in batches in New York and send one email when yours is ready.

One email when it’s ready. That’s the whole relationship.

Solitary bees (mason bees, leafcutters, the gentle ones that hardly ever sting) need somewhere to lay their eggs. This is somewhere: 65 holes for paper nesting tubes, in a speech bubble you hang on a sunny wall.

When a tube gets a little mud cap, a bee has moved in. That’s the seen. Swap in fresh tubes each spring and the chat keeps going for years.

Comes in blue bubble and green bubble. We don’t take sides.

How it works

  1. Hang it on a wall that gets morning sun, 1 to 2 m up.
  2. Slide the paper tubes in.
  3. Wait for the mud caps. Don’t text them.
