The Bee Home project is a free and open-source design that allows anyone to support their local pollinators and contribute to preserving biodiversity. The project, developed by SPACE10 in collaboration with Tanita Klein and Bakken & Bæck, aims to raise awareness about the importance of bees and their role in shaping the natural environment.
The Bee Home project is designed with the needs of bees in mind, with holes for each bee to store food and provide shelter for the eggs they lay. The project is parametrically customizable, allowing people to design their own unique Bee Home, and doesn’t require tools of any kind, making it easy to assemble and dismantle. To create a Bee Home, visit beehome.design and design your own Bee Home based on the predefined parameters. Once satisfied with your design, you can download the design files and forward them to your local makerspace to have them made locally and on demand. The final step is to place your Bee Home, plant some flowers, and let nature do the rest. Personally, I think they look super cool, like tiny bee cities that live in a garden. It would be great to see cities also take this concept and run with it, for the betterment of our public spaces.
