And bees use this how exactly?
Yeah, it's definitely not intuitive. Those cedar logs will be fastened from the back via decking screws to the box. Then, the last step will be to drill lots of specific size holes into the front faces of those logs. Two sizes of holes, and to a specified depth. Bees such as carpenter bees, Mason bees, "sweat" bees, and various hornets and wasps use these holes for nesting, sleeping, food and embryo storage..... No honey-bees though. It is a way to propigate and attract alternate pollenators to your garden.
@bigpawbullets I looked at a post put up by someone else who had built a bee hotel. The holes in yours are what I was missing. Sounds like a good project. Thanks for your endurance and patience.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
