Today we began the construction process. Thanks to Finders Keepers’ donation of seven wooden pallets, we now have materials to start building. We started the process of deconstructing pallets today, and we’ve been salvaging wood from them. This wood will be used to create the frame for the bee hotels. We also cut bamboo to be used to fill some of the bee boxes. The hollowness of the bamboo makes it perfect for use by the bees. All of the pallets have not been cut yet, but we already have a substantial amount of wood. Overall, a substantial amount of progress has been made so far. I will be back at Thomas Harrison on Friday to do some more work with the students, and hopefully they will be able to begin constructing their frames by then.
