The only way for those boxes to look better would be with bees coming and going from the entrance.  :)

  Jen there is two slots cut in that disc, one slot is open and the other has screen in it. So if you catch a swarm you just turn it to close it and it will still have ventilation. The poles are removable, I put those there Incase he wanted the tie it to a tree easier.
