Bug and Bee House (Full & Half Sizes)

thingiverse

This is an easy-to-assemble, weather-resistant bug and bee house designed specifically for solitary bees, ladybugs, and other beneficial garden insects. The innovative design features a sloping roof to shield your insect guests from rain showers and includes slanted holes that allow water to drain freely. I've included both the full-size model and a compact half-house version for those who want to provide shelter without breaking the bank. By housing ladybugs in particular, you'll be well on your way to ridding your garden of aphids and other pesky critters that can do serious damage. Two sturdy 5 mm mounting holes are included on tabs, making it a breeze to attach this bug house to a fencepost or small post near the soil. If you decide to print this design, please be sure to share photos of your finished project with me!
