1.0 out of 5 stars Poor construction, Shipped Damaged TWICE by Amazon, November 18, 2009

I have purchased this item twice so far. This first time I received it, the corners of the metal roof were bent and the bamboo was coming loose on the inside (this was not due to improper packing, but rather lack of inspection by the order fulfillment people at Amazon). I returned the bee house and was promptly shipped a replacement by Amazon.

I just received the second bee house today and again, the roof was bent and the bamboo shoots were literally falling out of the house upon opening the box. Again, NOT due to improper packing, but poor Quality Control in the Order Fulfillment department at Amazon (even a blind man could have felt the bamboo falling out and the bent roof).

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ORDERING THIS PRODUCT....CHANCES ARE MORE THAN FAVORABLE IT WILL ARRIVE AT YOUR DOORSTEP DAMAGED.

Not the best quality but it will get the job done. The bamboo shoots are not all evenly smooth inside and some need to be re-glued to keep from falling out.

The bee house is a nice idea to pollinate plants. The construction was not done well. Two of the bamboo shoots were crushed in the making of the house...not during shipping. There must not be quality control at the manufacturer. But there are plenty of good bamboo shoots for the bees to make their home in.
