I suspect cedar is used for its natural weather resistance.

The question is, how well to Bees tolerate the smell and characteristics of
cedar? You should investigate that very closely before building what may
become just an unused box.

I wouldn't use aromatic cedar, but the "green" cedar I made a fence
out of in a previous house wasn't any more "smelly" than pine.
Carpenter bees sure love the cedar rafter ends in my current house. :-
