Crown Bees

We are people with a passion for bees and pollination who care about environmentally conscious products and practices.

Crown Bees empowers gardeners and communities to support native pollinators through education, sustainable products, and hands-on experience. Founded in Washington state, we specialize in gentle, solitary bees—like Mason and Summer Leaf bees—that pollinate more effectively than Honey bees and help restore local ecosystems. From bee houses made with sustainably sourced Pacific Northwest cedar to our Bee Buy Back and Harvest Service programs, everything we do supports one mission: healthy bees, healthy harvests, and a thriving planet.

Our bulk harvest tool sale ends Sunday, November 1. Save 10% at checkout on Clean Bee Solution, HumidiBee, Reed Splitters, Cocoon Combs, and Cocoon Finders.

By late fall your Mason bees are resting as adults in their cocoons, so now’s the time to harvest. Cleaning them removes pollen mites and chalkbrood, and storing them in the fridge keeps them dormant until you’re ready to release them in spring.

Hosting a Harvest Party? Stock up so everyone has what they need.

Putting up a bee house is kind. Leaving it unmanaged can quietly undo that kindness.

Unopened bee houses become safe havens for pests that spread to every Mason bee nearby. Talk with your neighbors who have one.

When you plan a seed swap, consider adding a Mason bee cocoon harvesting/sharing activity.
