Leafcutter bees are friendly, efficient, and fun. They’re the best little bees to have around your family and your home. They’re the species of choice for flower pollination (especially alfalfa) and they do their job with little fuss. Simply place them in a warm, dry place and you won’t need to do much more for them! Sit back and have fun watching them grow and work at pollinating the flowering plants in your yard.
While the thought of bees can make some people nervous, leafcutter bees are different from other common bees. They’re not aggressive and you don’t need any protective equipment to be around them. To the best of our knowledge, leafcutter bees do not cause acute allergic reactions. These non-aggressive, solitary bees fit in well in both urban and rural settings.
