The last boxes of bees went to their new homes today! As you can see from the ones I kept here, they are already very busy building little homes for next year’s babies. All of the yellow around the entrances is pollen from different bee mamas working on their nests.

Last call for Mason Bees! If you were hoping for some, a final bee delivery will happen this weekend. It is time to release the bees!

A customer forgot to pick up their box of bees and I was a little late bringing them back inside to the fridge, so when I opened the box I saw a few already emerged and many in the process of emerging. They definitely feel it is time to wake up!

It also shows you what a great hatch rate we are having with our cocoons!

I have limited cocoons left and expect to be sold out within the week. If you are hoping for some mason bees please do reach out asap!

Yesterday alone 150 baby bees went to their new homes!

Hello Friends

We are starting to run low on Mason Bee cocoons. We are seeing excellent hatch rates thus far. It is going to be a busy guzzing season!

They are $20 a box with 20 cocoons. Punch a pencil sized hole in the box, hang it somewhere sheltered where it won't get wet (preferably on or near a mason bee house) and watch baby bees emerge over the coming weeks.

I can do delivery to Comox Valley and Campbell River if distance is a barrier for you.

*Please note, I do not leave anything out at my farm stand until arrangements have been made to pick up. Please pm me to make arrangements before coming to the stand. I don't want anyone to make a disappointing trip!*

It is that time of year again! Llyr’s Bees is now selling our wee boxes of Mason bees. We will be doing delivery to town on occasion so if trying out to Black Creek is a barrier for you please reach out.

This years’ prices are:
1 box and 20 bees for $20

Cocoons are an even mix of male and females and have been screen for parasites.

If you want more bees we can add them for $1 per additional cocoon.

The boxes are great for storing in the fridge and when you are ready to release, punch a pencil-sized hole in the side (carefully) and place the box in a safe space facing the morning sun… and over the next few days and weeks watch your bees emerge!
The best time to put out cocoons is when temperatures hit 12’C consistently during the day and/or when you see the dandelions and maple trees in bloom.

Pm to arrange pick up / drop off.
We can do cash, e-transfer (prior to delivery) and tap.

Currently also available:
Chicken eggs ($7/ doz)
Duck eggs -limited supplies- ($9 / doz)
Walking onions -a few bulbs per pot- ($5)
Crosnes starts - a few bulbs per pot- ($5)
Jerusalem artichokes - a tuber or two per pot- ($5)

Soon to come: (all in limited quantities)
Perennial potato onion starts
Perennial babington leek starts
