We know bees are in trouble, thanks to the devastating effects of pesticides (I have signed a couple of petitions urging big farms to curb their use). This season we've had plenty of pollinators; nevertheless, I decided to help my cause by placing a hive in our yard. Following my friend Barry's instructions, I have come up with this section of a log, cut at a slant, a couple of inches deeper at the top, in order to provide a sort of overhang. As soon as the contraption passes Barry's inspection I will mount it on the juniper tree next to the greenhouse.
