Description
A bee house for solitary wild bees — mason bees, leafcutter bees, and other cavity-nesting species. Designed to be filled with natural nesting tubes (reed, bamboo, or cardboard), not printed ones. Features a removable woodpecker guard and wall mounting.
This is the World Bee Day 2026 edition. I plan to release updated versions as I learn more from real-world use.
Features:
- Closed back wall — nesting tubes are sealed at one end, as bees require
- Removable woodpecker guard (separate print, glued together, inserts from the top)
- Wall mounting holes (keyhole style)
- Ventilation holes on the top left and right sides
Nesting tubes (not included): Use natural reed stems, bamboo, or cardboard tubes — 6–8 mm inner diameter, 150 mm long, available online or from garden stores. Mason bees (active in spring) prefer 8 mm tubes, leafcutter bees (active in summer) prefer 6 mm. A mix of sizes attracts more species.
