I learned that those plastic blocks are not the best for Mason bees and wanted to see if I could model and 3D print something that overcomes the objections.

As it turns out the 3D printing world is full of well-meaning people who want to put bees into plastic tubes and the occasional naturalist who sounds the alarm about how they should buy cardboard tubes and liners instead.

I decided not to print plastic tubes for my bees but on reading the objections to having the bees later eggs in plastic it seemed like a plastic frame that holds a liner might be okay.

That is what I tried to build here and I would love to learn from your comments on it!
