Come across this in Tn hunting public land. Seen 2 of them. Made out of plywood.

It could be a recorder used in a study to detect gobbles.

It's a honey bee box. Bee keepers use them to get more bees. Every year a bee hive will split when half the hive leaves with a new queen. The hope is the swarm will find the box an ideal location and settle in it.

I was going to say something for bee's but I decided to hold back a little to see what more educated, worldly people might say.

I bet those are good at catching wasp nest. I wonder if the bees will get in there after the wasp have made nest it in?
