I think I paid $7-8 for this odd row boat shelf structure. It's thin wood and poorly constructed. I first had to make some repairs, then I primed and painted. Same color green as above... Largely because I had a gallon made!
For this one I wanted to use a variety of hole sizes and also use up all of the leftovers from the previous houses. Because the walls are not straight it presented some problems. The result was like putting a puzzle together. I have two more areas to flesh out but I wanted to deploy the bee house now because the yard is already getting activity. It's in a recessed window well so hopefully it is semi-protected. In the future, I don't think I'll stick to units with straight walls!
I plan on filling the existing gaps with something soon.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
