« experiment | Main | Here is a descripion of the honey bees. »
In our class, we made a couple of bee boxes. The first one was the classic wooden bee box. When we came back from our field trip we started drilling holes in the 4x4x6 wooden blocks. The paper straws that we put in the holes for the bees to nest in cost $40.00 for 400 straws. The actual wooden blocks cost nothing because they were either surplus or recycled. We also had another idea that we could use milk cartons for bee boxes. We got milk cartons from the cafeteria and put paper straws in rolls of paper inside of the milk carton. This was no extra cost because we used the paper straws from the wooden bee boxes. Then my teacher and I found another website that had bee boxes that are less expensive. It is $0.01 per straw and for the box it is under $32.00 for a “pro bee box”! Here is the site that I found it at: Great Bee Boxes
