Description
Be sure to add this modular bee house to your yard and garden! Native solitary bees are some of our best pollinators and now you can help support them with this bee house. Native bees are typically quite docile so you can invite them into your yard and garden without worry.
These bee houses are wall-mounted and use removable tubes (typically ~8mm in diameter and 150mm long), conveniently purchased online. It's important to use removable tubes for the health and safety of the bees as they can easily be disposed and the house cleaned between seasons.
You can choose between a horizontally aligned shape or a vertically aligned shape, both are the same size and have the same features. Each segment holds 40-50 tubes (just an estimate, you can see for yourself from the pictures). I opted to use a combination of the cardboard tubes and reed tubes to offer a variety of sizes for the bees.
Each module locks to the adjoining module via the tabs and slots. This is an easy prints and requires NO SUPPORTS!
