We all know that bees are great pollinators and that a lot of plants rely on them to reproduce. Unfortunately, the bee population is way down due to human impact, climate change, and invasive species.
So Ikea has started a new project to help protect bees and encourage people to take action to preserve their habitats by making DIY Bee Homes.
You can download an open-source bee home design for free and just build it yourself quickly at home.
But since they're great pollinators, one solitary bee can provide as much pollination as 120 honeybees. Wow!
These habitats protect them from moisture and weather. There, they can also store pollen and lay their eggs. So, a small Bee House is perfect for these bees!
It's also a way to encourage people from all walks of life to take action today. That's amazing.
First, you need to figure out its size. Then, you need to pick your favorite style of the home, and finally, decide where you want to place it.
With these plans, pretty much anyone can design the best home for this essential species.
The best way to construct your bee home is to find your local CNC machine-owner who can build you a bee home down to all the specifications of your choosing.
She wanted it to stand out as if it was almost a free-standing sculpture to add more beauty to any surroundings.
And the solitary bees won't bother you at all. In fact, the male species don't even have a sting so you don't have to be scared. Who's ready to build their own DIY bee home?
