Murph,

The Maine site is dated 2006 and it is a bit 'out-dated'.

The planks of wood with 5/16" holes cannot be cleaned and there will be 
a big build-up of mites on the Blue Orchard bees.

Have a look at my site for more information
<http://derrysorchardandnursery.ca>

I've recently read on a Maine blueberry site that big condominiums are 
not good either because the predators are more easily attracted 
(?scents) and they predate the Blue Orchard bees.

 Don't use PT of course.

Does PT mean 'plastic'? If so, I agree that plastic condominiums are no 
good.
