Review on FSC Certified Wood Mason Bee House For Solitary Bees - Attract Pollinators To Your Garden With Bamboo Tube Hotel. by Jason Olguin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not sturdy. Not well made

Unfortunately many of the bamboo pieces have only tiny holes that NO mason bee can fit through. I had to personally drill out about 1/4 of all the pieces. Furthermore, many of the larger rods have openings only 1 - 1 .5 inched deep. Mason bees need to lay their eggs 4-5 inches deep. The bamboo rods are not secured in the house. Many fell out as the house was tipped forward. It does not include a hook for hanging, rather there is a wire loop on the back that can be placed on a hook. This item is more for looks and not an appropriate item for truly nurturing mason bees.

Pros
  • Inspires sustainability
Cons
  • The bamboo tubes may attract pests or diseases that could harm the bees or their nests over time
