Osmia
Binderboard® (5/16" diameter, 6" deep
tunnels, 7 tunnels per laminate. All except the 300 hole board have been
treated on the outside surfaces with water-based polyurethane. However,
they should all be protected from rain with a roof, and not left outside
uncovered or
where standing water during the winter could damage them.
We are now using bolts and cross braces instead of a strap for extra pressure on all sizes of
Osmia Binderboard®. Our
bolt design prevents warping of the wood if the boards get wet. If you
have our original design Binderboard® held together with
straps, we would be delighted to upgrade them with bolts if you are willing to
send them to us. Alternatively, we will provide you with detailed
instructions on how to upgrade them.
Contact us for more information.

This book has excellent color photos, lots of details, and especially good sections on parasites and predators, and on incubation and
emergence. Excellent if you know
these bees; a bit technical for a beginner.
