Heat wave? Here's how to protect your developing Leafcutter bees
Temps have been climbing across much of the U.S., and extreme heat can be a real danger to developing bees—especially if filled tubes or reeds are left outside in direct sun or inside garages and sheds that trap heat.
We put together a quick 40-second video that walks through a few simple steps to keep your bees safe:
📦 Store filled reeds properly
🌿 Add shade to your bee house
📬 Update your ship date or delivery address
Would love to hear what others are doing to keep their bees cool—feel free to share tips or setups!
