Here's the full view of Deluxe Log, complete with headphones and bee house in the back. On top of the bee house is a small amplifyer (which headphones plug into), and a 'bee plank' . Note that this is not just 'mason bee house', but a habitat structure for the many species of solitary, cavity nesting bees in our area (see side view photo to get a sense of the different hole dimensions) . Why limit bee houses to just mason bees when there are hundreds of bee species - sometimes thousands - all around us?
