Backyard Pollinator products are unique – the nesting blocks contain live leafcutter bee larvae ready to hatch, fly and pollinate in the warm summer months.

   

Backyard Pollinator products appeal to the curiosity of nature enthusiasts of all ages and will bring satisfaction and enjoyment to everyone who wants to improve their local environment through pollination.

Leafcutter bees are gentle and non-aggressive solitary bees which stay close to their home. They are also known as SUPER POLLINATORS carrying dry pollen on their hairy underside and leaving some of this pollen on every flower they visit.

 

Leafcutter bees are very small and will work in unison with other types of bees. A single female leafcutter bee may visit thousands of blossoms in a day.  If there are adequate flowers to forage on, this small bee will stay within 100-200 metres of their nesting habitat so the benefits of their pollination will be seen close at hand.

“We have absolutely LOVED Backyard Pollinator since first hearing about your business five years ago. The kids love watching the bees and being able to get right up close to them!”

“Leafcutter bees are fascinating little creatures and so friendly!! Mine are starting to fill their second block of tunnels and it’s so darn cute to catch them sleeping with their bums out!! They work so hard, I sure enjoy watching them. Such busy little bees and they certainly don’t mind me be around so I can watch them closely!”

“My bees are everywhere! My neighbors are also very happy to have my bees pollinating their garden too! They are so sweet and curious. I go right up close to their house, they land on me and explore, then just fly away to continue on with their job.”
