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.

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.

Well made. Sturdy. Waxed so rain just falls off. Maker can be proud of this product.

These little houses are great value for the money! It’s the first time buying a bee house with removable tubes - there were so many out there and since I’m still learning about mason bees, I didn’t want to spend too much money. The price was great and the bee houses are sturdy with a few exceptions. I read the other reviews so I was prepared to have to send any broken hives back but all 7 hives arrived in good condition. I noticed a couple of the backs of the houses were coming unglued so I used a small screw to attach the loose corner. In my estimation, still a great deal considering I don’t know how to build one myself and want the inexpensive, quick purchase allowing me to get on with getting houses up while the bees were still active. The houses came with a bit of twine, some hardware and 2 types of hooks already attached to the boxes. I just hung the boxes by the hook on a nail.

Excellent quality with great design, look, and feel. Was easy to install after minor modifications to mounting hangers to match our placements. Not any fault of the manufacturer but our Mason Bee population did not seem to be attracted to these. Don’t know why, out of the 2 I ordered, only 1 filled and appears the 2nd has been abandoned. Previous Mason Bee House had Bamboo tubes as these are made of paper which makes harvesting the pup as easier.
