Is that a bird house the bees have taken over?
it looks like a wood duck nest box to me, how about you?
It could be a bat house. Hard to say without being able to see the bottom(to look for slots) or the front(to look for holes.
wow, yes, but that would be a very LARGE bat house, right? the ones i've seen have different dimensions .. much taller and much slenderer than this box. but this was photographed in texas, where it doesn't get nearly as cold at night and in the winter, so the dimensions can be different, i suppose.
Whatever it is, it is cool. I was excited last year to find a wild hive last year in a pine tree with a semi-hollow bottom. I hope it is still active. We have so few left around here.
I saw a hollow log that some honeybees had taken over a few years ago in the Edith Moore Nature Sanctuary in Houston, Texas. You could peer in the end and see the honeycomb.
