How to Make a Bee House

So, if bees go extinct, all humans will die within 4 years. Well, that's what Einstein said.

Theoretically, if we have no bees, we have no plants. Then, we'll have no animals, and eventually no humans. Do an internet search on "bees extinct" to see what I mean...it's kinda scary, maybe.

I need extra bees because I just planted some blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry plants. I also just hacked down their current home, the old swingset. So, with the leftover wood, I made a couple little bee houses. I used some old cut up roof shingles, a cedar 4x4, my drill, and some nails.


So, near my new bee house, I noticed this lizard (anole) trying desperately to get her to care. I guess they're all the same, whether it's peackock feather, a corvette (yuck), or a giant red dewlap (lizard throat).

That is the coolest lizard! We don't see much reptilian wild life in Seattle neighborhoods!

Hi there! I like you bee house. Do you have any tenants yet? I was doing a search on how to build bee houses and came across your site. I'm making my bee houses this weekend and hope they turn out!
