Bee brick

The bee bricks are the same size as regular bricks and are perfectly suited for non-swarming solitary bees like red masons and leafcutters, which are great pollinators.

An innovative creation of Cornwall-based Green&Blue, Bee Bricks are designed to establish homes within homes. The architectural building blocks can be layered with more typical materials and feature holes of various sizes that allow the fuzzy, winged insects a space for nesting. These multi-purpose bricks are especially crucial as bee populations dwindle due to habitatContinue reading "Tiny Holes Drilled into Bricks Provide Miniature Homes for Solitary Bees"

The Green&Blue range of contemporary bee houses are designed and made in Cornwall and create a safe, stylish nesting place for non-swarming solitary bees. Stand them in the garden or build into a wall, they make a beautiful feature in a bee friendly landscape.

A planning law introduced in Brighton and Hove calls for new buildings to include special bee bricks, which provide nests for solitary bees.

Rugged clay forms the walls of this pavilion in Helsinki by Maiju Suomi and Elina Koivisto, which aims to provide an urban habitat for pollinators.

In a previously published study, the authors explained the formal design efficiency of the 3D-printed biodigital clay bricks 3DPBDCB: a project that aimed to change the conventional methods of clay brick design and mass production. This was achieved by employing the behavioural algorithms of reaction-diffusion and the shortest path that were extracted from the exact material physical properties and hydrophilic behaviours of clay and controlled material deposition 3D printing to create…
