Fohvos bee abode project...!

sooooooo….
One third of our global food supply is pollinated by bees.
Simply put, bees keep plants and crops alive.
Without bees, humans wouldn't have very much to eat.
Bees are crucial to our existence as well, thus we must work harder to protect and preserve them.

Well FoHVOS have these awesome ‘Bee Hotels’ that will be placed in Hopewell Valley & we have a chance to help out by assembling Bee Abodes from a kit that can be purchased & delivered to you! www.fohvos.info
I was very excited when my delivery came & got my boys involved, we looked up how important bees are in our environment.
The kit is REALLY put together well ~ instructions are great & easy to follow. It was a fun project to do with my kids & a VERY important one.
TA-DA!!! Here is the finished Abode… I can hear the BUZZ-ing from here!!
There is no need to paint it, you can leave it the raw wood that it comes in. But… I am Anne! & yes ~ I know the sides won’t be seen, but I agree with some of Steve Jobs ideas… ‘Passionate to the point of obsessive about design, Steve Jobs insisted that his computers look perfect inside and out.’ Walter Isaacson ~ SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE.
Check out the rear! The branding iron!! This calls for a FoHVOS BBQ!!!
The instructions also give ideas for other homes for pollinators ~ I’m looking forward to making my own to hang around.
