The plywood provides a sustainable, sturdy structure against the elements, as well as any curious creatures the Bee Hotel happens to be in the habitat of. The enclosed structure is elevated above the ground to keep the Bee Hotel out of harm’s reach and keep moisture buildup at bay. The bottom of the pole is a point, which may be driven into packed earth to minimize the structure’s footprint in the environment.
