PaperTunnel Liners for whole nest management  
We now offer two styles of paper liners: Translucent and Pre-split.  Both fit in our Binderboard® tunnels.
Translulcent:  Thin, to minimize reduction in the tunnel diameter; translucent so you can see the shadow of cocoons when you hold the nest up to the light.  See photo.
New! Pre-split:  Whiter, opaque paper, but pre-slit lengthwise so you can open them quickly for cleaning or parasite removal.  Although they are opaque, the slit gives you a quick view of nest contents, and saves time if you work with lots of liners.   Offered at an introductory price this season (in red), while supplies last.

For larger quantities, contact Pollinator Paradise for a price quote.

Mesh Bag for control of chalcid parasites 

After fruit bloom when orchard bees are finished nesting, store your Binderboard® in a mesh bag to prevent chalcid parasites from attacking the nests.  Also keeps other tunnel nesting species of bees and wasps from using unfilled tunnels.  Large holds two 49 or 98-hole Binderboard®.  Small holds one 14-hole Binderboard®, one 49-hole Binderboard® without roof, or about 300 filled straw liners.  Made of white organza.  Hand wash.
Large $4.95  Small $2.25 each
