11 Accessories & Books Each MSRP Crown Bees is a solution-based Mason Bee company. We also solve challenges our tiny workers face in the garden. That s why we team with scientific and academic communities to help us develop products that protect bees, ensure customer success with pollination, and improve bee management. Our exclusive product designs include input from commercial peers, the ARS/Logan Bee Lab, and the Orchard Bee Association. InvitaBee, Bee attractant for Blue Orchard bee Based on research that mason bees are drawn to nesting scents, Crown Bees developed the InvitaBee to place in nesting houses. InvitaBee is an eco-friendly, easy-to-use product utilizing scent-laden cloth that is 100% cotton, and blue, a color preferred by spring mason bees. This innovative product enhances customer success by attracting bees to a preferred nesting site. Includes two InvitaBee sheets sealed to retain freshness. Made in Washington State. BeeGuardian, Guard Bag with Velcro closure Time and time again we hear customers leave their tubes, reeds, and trays outside to lose their bees to pests. The BeeGuardian protects bee larva developing within nesting tubes and reeds from attack by summer pests (e.g., parasitic wasp, ants, earwigs, and birds). This fine mesh bag, with a double tie opening, is 20 x 21 and holds large wood trays or hundreds of tubes/reeds. HumidiBee, Cocoon Humidifier Our HumidiBee is an exclusively designed cocoon humidifier that nestles bees within a protected, humidity controlled environment until ready for spring hatching. This allows your customer to choose when they want to release their bees to pollinate their yard. This is the preferred method to store cocoons in a refrigerator. The HumidiBee increases humidity levels to keep cocoons from drying out in modern frost-free refrigerators, which have low humidity levels of 20-30%. Cocoons are separated from a moisture absorbing pad. This is a USA made product. $2.95 $6 $3.75 $6 $3.95 $8 Rev Page 11 of 13

Getting product to your customers quickly is high priority. Every effort will be made to ship as soon as possible. However, in high volume periods the shipping may take up to two business days. Our products are fairly durable to ship, yet we take pride in providing good padding where necessary. We receive extremely few customer calls on packaging issues. Crown Bees wants the customers to understand how to use their product. We place instructions for each product included. We also include reference to our Be , which helps remind the customer when to do what during the year. This proudly sets Crown Bees apart from our competitors.
