his is  bee home for mason bee (Osmia bicornis) . The hive is best installed near or in the garden itself. 

You can Print the house itself without insterts, and then insert tubes or drilled wood.

The added inserts fold together so that printing the Start and End inserts and 11 midle pieces gives us 126 holes for the bees to lay their eggs.

When the season is over, the inserts can be removed and the eggs can be pulled out for overwintering with the included spatula.

You can Print the house itself without insterts, and then insert tubes or drilled wood.

I recommend printing in white, black, yellow, blue, purple or brown. Filament is best PETG or ASA.

New in ver. 3:
- Adding an optimal insert (less filament consumption)
- smaller hive housing.
 

Thanks to the optimization of the insert, there are 168 holes available to the bees

So you can print faster and with less filament consumption.
