Mary Ann, in German it is called a "Bienenhotel" - a nesting aid (?) for wild bees. I put a crop on scrappress, there you can see a bee entering its new home ;-)
AB, yes, I remember your photo quite well - the first time I ever saw this kind of hotel. Since then ... they are everywhere (even in my garden) ... . There is a crop of this photo somewhere on scrappress - with a real living bee!
