After a few years of various PVC pipe section, coffee container, and even small trash can bee houses, I set it to make a few out of wood. I was determined to use scrap and/or thrifted materials. I kept saving appropriate scrap. Then one day I found a tater bin at a thrift store for $9. Seemed like a good place to start. I disassembled it, made some modifications and got it all back together to hold some redwood bee blocks I made from a scrap 4x4. I still need two more sections but can't find it anywhere. But mason bees have already started flying here so I deployed it anyway.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
