Step 6A possible way to control air vents in the pipe
A split section of PVC pipe is springy and will clip onto the pipe. Sliding the section up and down can open or close holes in the pipe to help the bees with temperature control inside the pipe.
The large holes would be bee entrances at the top of the pole. The small vent holes at the bottom would filter out predators, and hopefully wax moths that eat bee larvae.
A bee keeper might have to poke around to clean out the holes if the bees plug them .
