Plans for the Rustic Bee House
Several people have asked for plans for making a bee house. Click here for the plans for making the Rustic Bee House.
We use pine or laminated Baltic birch boards. They come in six and eight inches wide and eight foot long lengths. You will need both six and eight inch wide boards. Look for ones with the fewest knots and the straightest boards.
The boards are held together by screws. The screws we use are 1-5/8 inch self-tapping T-20 star drive screws. You will cut four eight inch boards and six six inch boards. The eight inch boards are used for the sides and six inch boards are for the top, bottom and back. This would make four to five houses.
