I bought this in the winter. So I have not put it up outside as of yet. It is well made and looks great this will look great next to my trained apple and pear trees.

Well made and good quality. Gave it four stars because I wish it had an overhang on the top to keep some of the weather out.

Bought 2 more because they're so great. These are well built, the tubes are easy to remove and replace ( I line my tubes with parchment paper so I can reuse the tube). The house being coated with beeswax is a fantastic idea. I live a very rainy area and the beeswax held up nicely.

This bee house is very sturdy, nice wood, easy to replace tubes (around a hundred but didn't count). Only flaw was a pretty short overhang on the front, which was easily remedied by making a roof from scrap ribbed metal roofing and roof screws left over from previous job (did the same with bluebird feeders I bought off here as well). While adding the roof I realized that I could easily make 3 at once so that's what I did, ordering second bee house when I finish typing this and third later. I used the screw head hangers on the back, found that #8 screws with tapered head (head diameter about 5/16) fit well. Used some 3 inch screws though and had to grind the heads down slightly to fit the hangers, was able to hang on south east face of a tree about 6 ft off ground adjacent to garden. Hopefully some bees move in quickly as my winter cover crop is at peak flower stage so there are lots of them around. Note that roof is flush at back and overhang about an inch on sides and front, with front using an upside down rib to further protect the tubes.

These are useful for Mason Bees Why did you pick this product vs others?: Price was good and product is fairly well made
