Step 1
Assemble the wood like so and secure in place.
Step 2
Cut out a piece of wood so that your plant pot will fit in. To make a basic plant pot cut five identical pieces of wood and join them together.Next attach it to the underside of the roof with nails or glue or screws.
Drilling the Bee Holes
I think you have to drill them 2mm-10mm but different sizes of bees like different sized hole so best to have quite variety of sizes.
Finished
the hole add a plant to your plant pot (if possible one that will attract bees) and hang it up, I did this by drilling two hole completely through it, placing nails through the hole and nailing it to a wooden post.
