This beautiful hand-made Bee House is made by JCs Wildlife from recycled Poly Lumber. It features all screwed construction using stainless steel screws and routed edges. This house will not crack, split or fade - it will look great for years to come. The colors are vibrant and UV protected. The interior boasts 8 rows of panels perfect for mason bee nesting and are removable for easy cleaning. The charred pine used to make the bored panels makes for a cozy home as well. The poly lumber is stain proof, and helps make the entire house easier to clean and maintain. Made in the USA!
