My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pollinator “Bee Barn” Placement

7 years ago

Hello. I’m so hoping to get ideas from the Garden Web community about where in my backyard to put a “bee barn.” I live in the Southeast Phoenix Metro Area and I’m clueless if I can even install one or not due to the summer heat. There‘s plenty of flowering plants to sustain the bees with Angelita Daisies and Fern Leaf Lavenders amongst others. I also own a small dog so it can’t be placed too low. Thanks so much for your possible help. ~D
