 Building a beehive from a bucket and PVC pipehttp://www.instructables.com/id/Bee-Hive-in-a-Bucket/
Excerpt: More at link Bees are having a tough time world-wide. We need bees for our agriculture. This bee hive is not designed for harvesting honey. This is just a home for bees. Not only the bucket is habitable, but the hollow pipe that supports it in the air can also be colonized. In past years, bees have been getting scarcer around here. I have had two volunteer bee colonies establish themselves along my ridge this year -- in inconvenient locations. I hope they will find their way to this hive when the time comes for the volunteer hives to divide.  This is just an experiment. The hive was put up today near one of the volunteer hives, and has not yet been colonized. _________________ I'm the one thats got to die when it's time for me to die.
