Placing Leaf Cutter Bees in Gilbert, Arizona

We decided to switch from Blue Orchard Bees to Leaf Cutter bees in the Phoenix area. Leaf cutters are more acclimated to the hot temperatures and we have a native population as evidenced by the characteristic leaf cutouts in our plants.




First we divided up the 'gallon' of leaf cutter cocoons we bought from JWM Leafcutters, Inc:



We also got the unique habitats from JWM:


Finally, we placed the 'quart' of leaf cutter cocoons and the 'half' habitat in a shady location facing east near the rose garden.



Next we will place a quart of leaf cutter cocoons and the other 'half' of the habitat at the Master Garden in Flowing Springs north of Payson, Arizona.
