Bees are a cheerful sight for all gardeners. If you spot these little friends, know that they are hard at work in your garden, helping to make your plants and flowers grow healthy. If you want to see more growth in your garden, you can fill it with leafcutter bees from Kind Bee Farms.

Our pollinator kits help you jumpstart the process with cocoons and a wooden bee house for them to rest; after setting the cocoons in the house, your bees will fly out to your garden and get to work.

Below, we will discuss what leafcutter bees are and how they can make your garden overflow with plant life.

What Are Leafcutter Bees?

Leafcutter bees may not be as “famous” as other bees in the family, but their work is just as important for growing plants. Their tiny bodies and quick flying allow them to pollinate plants and flowers much faster than honey bees.

These busy little workers get their name from chewing sections off leaves to wrap their eggs in, along with a bit of pollen inside. As a species, leafcutters are solitary pollinators that live and work alone, sleeping in little hovels called nesting tubes just big enough for one bee to rest and for the females to lay their eggs.

Why Add Leafcutter Cocoons to Your Garden?

Inviting leafcutter bee cocoons into your garden will take your plant life from seed to abundant bloom within weeks. These industrious bees are known to spread pollen to a wide variety of plants, making them perfect for multipurpose gardens. While your flower beds flourish and blossom, you will also see a significant boost in your vegetables, fruits, and herbs. This versatility in pollination will ensure a large and bountiful harvest from every corner of your garden!

Leafcutter bees are also excellent for boosting the local ecosystem. After releasing them from their box, they will begin laying eggs in their nesting tubes. Soon after, new bees will hatch and begin pollinating both your garden and others nearby. Not only will you enjoy a bumper crop, but your neighbour’s gardens can also benefit from these super pollinators!

How to Get Leafcutter Bee Cocoons
