This is a modular, extendable bee hotel for solitary bees such as mason bees and leaf-cutter bees. Solitary bees are extremely beneficial pollinators, and with just some light work from you can be boosted significantly in your area. It is partly experimental. Plastic bee houses can suffer from condensation and mould issues, but I have hopefully designed this in such a way to avoid that issue. Features:Infinitely Extendable. Limited by your filament supplyMultiple hole sizes from 4mm to 15mm to suit multiple bee sizes (More sizes available on request)Disassembles for yearly cleaning and harvestIncludes overhangs to protect cavitys from rainAdd more layers based on which hole sizes are being usedAllows airflow to cavities via plate split (hopefully)Recommended colour blue, which possibly attracts more bees150mm deep channels which is the optimum lengthTested ASA print profileRoof module includes keyhole for screw mountingIt is recommended you print with ASA filament as the hotel will be
