Does this bee house have a back on it? Hard to tell from the picture and it seems that without a back the tubes would fall out.

There is no back. The bamboo tubes are stacked top to bottom with both ends open.

There is a back if you want. We chose not to put it on when we assembled it. If you wanted it would be easy to cut holes in.

Hi Martha, The back is not finished on this item. I hope you find this information helpful. - Crystal, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Yes, the backing is just painted Styrofoam. I would likely make a nice terrarium. The top is fine mesh aluminum screen so you can set lights on it. There are also very small vent holes just under the doors (the black strip across the front) to create adequate air flow. It is water tight up to the black strip. The doors open wide and the top screen does come off.

The back is wide open. This actually may be perfect for what you're trying to do. There is no plumbing or electrical, but you can buy mini accessories and glue them wherever you find it appropriate. There is a crawlspace under the building but no access door, the attic is a room, and there are no closets. You would probably want to add a mini-washer/dryer, refrigerator, and hot water tank. This is a 1/12 scale house and 1/12 scale accessories are readily available. I like this house because it is very durable. Most realistic model dollhouses are delicate.

The wheels get put on by inserting into the tube opening. Once they are in it is difficult to get them off. I think it could stand without the wheels but I don't know how sturdy it would be.

It did not. I have my bee house hanging over my butterfly garden, next to my hummingbird feeder. Everybody seems to work together in complete harmony! :-)

No, they are not removable. The bee lays an egg, puts up a "wall" between that one and the next, and so on until the tube is filled up. In the spring the baby bees "burst" through the mud and come out. It is my understanding you may have to replace the house every year? I'm not sure. I'm putting mine out in the late winter, early spring.

The backs are open and have two stretchy Velcro straps you use to keep them in place. I used mine for cave exploration. They got SUPER banged up, but I didn't :)

Hi Jan...I don't think there was a tube. My hubby uses it all the time. No issues with it.

There is a back on the center section, but the two sides are open on the back & there is no front opening on either side. A future re-design would be great, if they'd put doors on either side, with shelves & backs. It would make a great item, even better

Uncertain. There is a back panel. My handyman put it up. He didn't say there was anything was missing. It feels secure.

It does not come with any tubes or additional parts. I use this in a multi cat home and it works great.

Yes, it had a back plate. You can see the plate in the picture if you look closely.

No. the back is a black board type material and you can see the screws and brackets that it is put together with. But the front is beautiful and good quality wood and well made

The back is black and does indeed have a hole that you could feed a cord / wire out of the back of it!

It's made of thin metal tubes that slip into one another ( may need another pair of hand to help set it up) But I put mine up alone. It has been set up for months now and still looks like new. I have been well please by my purchase.
