In the exploration of 3D printing applications to help nature, here is the latest find.
The Bee Hotel
The utility of this model is the preservation of pollenisers, key players in biodiversity.
Solitary bees build their nests by themselves and lay their eggs in tunnels, such as dead wood or hard soil.
The Bee Hotel mimics these conditions.
Easy to make this model is designed to be printed without support.
Height 140 mm
Width 90 mm
depth 120 mm
Then, it remains only to fill the interior with hollow plant stems (bamboo, reed, etc ...)
Your house of bees must be placed in full sun, facing south-east or south.
You can suspend it (do not swing it too much, avoid the branches) or hang it on a screw (6 mm diameter).
A southern exposure is recommended.
The ideal is that they can have the sun in the morning because they have cold blood and need the heat of the sun to take off in the morning.
Suitable for:
Balcony/roof, Small garden, Large garden, Medium garden
