Review: These are great and the bees love them. - These are great and the bees love them. Took no time for them to get filled up. Whether you are making a new house or replacing the tunes in an older one. I do recommend them. Review: Enough to make a small mason bee shelter, or use to tighten up spaces in a large one. - We’ve made mason bee shelters before, always using drilled wood. My wife wants to try and make one using sections filled with bamboo, drilled wood and other nesting materials. This package will be just enough to get the project started and if the bees use it in the spring, we’ll be adding more houses for them. Information on the internet regarding using bamboo is 50/50 for whether it’s a good nesting material or not, but I do think it’s worth a try, at least to use for filling in spaces so the paper wasps don’t nest in there instead. For this price, it will be an interesting and inexpensive experiment. ## Features - Designed for Healthy Mason Bee Nesting: Made from premium natural bamboo that helps regulate humidity and withstand outdoor weather, creating an ideal nesting environment for mason and solitary bees. - Easy-Split Bamboo for Cocoon Harvesting: Each tube is easy to open after the season, allowing safe cocoon removal and cleaning—trusted by experienced mason bee keepers. - 100% Natural & Chemical-Free: Crafted from untreated bamboo with a natural finish—safe for bees, eco-friendly, and free from dyes, glues, or additives. - Perfect Size for Mason Bees: Includes 60 bamboo tubes, each 5.9 inches long with 0.27"–0.40" inner diameter, matching recommended dimensions for mason bee nesting success. - Risk-Free Satisfaction Guarantee: We stand behind our quality.

My wife wants to try and make one using sections filled with bamboo, drilled wood and other nesting materials. This package will be just enough to get the project started and if the bees use it in the spring, we’ll be adding more houses for them.

For this price, it will be an interesting and inexpensive experiment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Good Alternative to Drilling 0.25" Holes in Wood Blocks *by G***E on July 8, 2021* The diameter of the each tube varies. Most are bigger than the ideal 0.25" diameter size for Mason bees. Because they are made of natural bamboo, the tubes are strong and tough - almost impossible to split for cocoon harvest. . The best alternative is to use them as alternatives to drilling 0.25" holes in wood blocks, that serve as Mason bee hotels. So, place a bunch inside tall insulated mugs. The ends of the tubes are thus blocked for egg laying. After they are filled, refrigerate them in November, December, and January. On February, put them outside in a sheltered area, 5' to 10' from the ground. When temperatures hit 60 F, the larvae will hatch and transform into Mason bees. Digging out of the soil walls, they are ready to mate, fly, pollinate flowering fruit trees and plants, and lay their eggs inside the vacated bamboo tubes. ## Frequently Bought Together - IA Crafts Bamboo Tubes, for Mason Bees, Natural Bamboo Bee Nest, Easy to Split for Cocoon Harvest, 5.9" Long and 0.27"-0.4" Inner Diameter (0.75) - Navaris Cardboard Bee Nesting Tubes (Pack of 200) - 6" Long x 5/16" Diameter Tube for Mason Solitary Bees - for Filling Insect Hotels and Bug Houses - Wax Coated Bee House - Natural Wooden Mason Bee Hotel, Attracts Native Pollinators, Waterproof Garden Habitat --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/206503196-bamboo-tubes-for-mason-bees-natural-bamboo-bee-nest-easy](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/206503196-bamboo-tubes-for-mason-bees-natural-bamboo-bee-nest-easy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
