With large numbers of similar-looking nesting holes, bees may struggle to find the right hole, sometimes choosing a different location to nest. By introducing Bee Wayfinders, you give each nesting hole a unique visual signature that helps guide the female bees back to the correct hole after foraging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Bee Wayfinders for Mason Bees - Crown Bees\" href=\"https:\/\/crownbees.com\/pages\/bee-wayfinders-instructions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Instructions\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CrownBees","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49535072731364,"sku":"111030","price":1.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/0290\/0196\/files\/Wayfinders_for_Mason_Bees_-_Made_in_the_USA___Crown_Bees.png?v=1785397857"},{"product_id":"invitabee-mason-bee-attractant-rvl8kw","title":"InvitaBee Mason Bee Attractant","description":"\u003ch2\u003eInvitaBee™+ Mason Bee Attractant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttract Mason bees to your bee house with the power of pheromones!
