BEE TUNNELS. 

 Sketch to represent a piece of split redwood post, 2 by 4 inches, a foot in length. 

 No. 1 shows the stick before being split at the dotted line, with the entrance hole on 

 that side. No. 2 shows (in black) the tunnels, shafts and side cells made by the 

 Carpenter Bees, from the entrance shown on No. 1. The dotted lines indicate other 

 excavations for nests, with entrances on the opposite side of No. 1.
