The heavy durable timber used provides excellent over wintering insulation, as well as longevity. TOP CHAMBER This provides habitat for Solitary Bees like the Red Mason Bee or Leafcutter Bee.

LOWER CHAMBER (Multi use, access through holes and wide door margins) 1. Natural wood bark can be put in this section for an over wintering habitat for essential natural predators like Ladybirds. 2.
