Import Tips
• Obtain a CFIA import permit, as leaf cutter bees are regulated to prevent the introduction of pests and diseases
• Ensure the cocoons are free of plant material and packaged in clean, ventilated trays to maintain dormancy
• Declare the shipment as live insects for agricultural pollination and provide the species name (Megachile rotundata)
