Rent Mason Bees

Pollinate Your Yard, Enrich Your Habitat, and Help Solitary Bees

Mason bees are fast becoming the new bees to host in your yard. Known as the stingless bees, they are nonaggressive and gentle. When you join our Solitary Bee Team as a host, you release bees and rent nesting blocks. Renting a kit from Rent Mason Bees gives gardeners the benefits of pollination without having to do the annual maintenance work because we do all the cleaning and winter storage. Visit our website to learn more.

• Belly Floppers. They belly flop onto blossoms and get pollen all over their bodies.
• Incredible Pollinators. With their bodies covered in pollen, they pollinate 95% of the flowers they land on—over 2,000 flowers a day.
• Solitary Bees. Mason bees live and work alone. They forage for their own food and find their own nest, and all females lay their own eggs. This makes them docile and nonaggressive.
• Mason Bee Kit. Includes mason bee house, nesting block, bag of clay, pollinator flower seeds, and 50 to 60 mason bee cocoons.

Phyllom BioProducts

Natural. Effective. Targeted.

Discovered and developed by a team of experts over a span of 15 years, Phyllom BioProducts’ patented strain of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is the first bio insecticide powerful enough to effectively control susceptible beetles, weevils, borers and grubs. And unlike the chemical products, Phyllom’s line of products do not pose a risk to non-target beneficial insects such as earthworms and lady bugs nor to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The New Standard for High Performance & Safety. You can now achieve a high level of control like the chemical insecticides without doing harm to the natural ecosystem in your yard.

Target the Pest, Not the Rest^®

Targeted insect pests include: Scarab Beetle grubs and adults such as Japanese Beetle, Asiatic Garden Beetle, European Chafer, Rose Chafer, May or June Beetle, Northern Masked Chafer, Southern Masked Chafer, Black Turfgrass Ataenius, Green June Beetle, Oriental Beetle, Leaf Beetles such as Rice and Alder Leaf, Weevils such as Annual Bluegrass, Sweet Potato, Pepper, Pecan, Citrus / Strawberry Root and other Root Weevils, Flea Beetle, Borers such as Emerald Ash Borer, Gold Spotted Oak Borer and Soap Berry Borer, and Darkling Beetles.

grubGONE!^® G

For organic lawn care. This easy to apply granule is highly effective in controlling all types of scarab beetle grubs (such as Chafers and Japanese Beetles), billbugs and bluegrass weevils in lawns without harming homeowners, pets, pollinators, earthworms or birds and does not contaminate the water table nor riparian areas such as streams, ponds and lakes. The only Non-Chemical that Effectively Controls Turf Grubs, Spring through Fall: not only effective against 1st instar grubs but also larger and hardier 2nd and 3rds. Thus, reducing populations of destructive grubs during Spring-Summer and helping to reduce secondary foraging in the Summer-Fall. More effective than GrubEx^® without the toxicity to earthworms, fish and water invertebrate food chain. More cost effective and higher performing than Milky Spore^® versus a wider variety of turf pests.

Price: $79.99 (10 lb. grubGONE!)
