Innovative solutions emerge in 3D printing applications benefiting the environment, yielding significant results. A prime example is The Bee Hotel, which preserves vital pollinators integral to biodiversity. The solitary bees construct their nests independently and lay eggs in tubes like dead wood or dense soil. Inspired by these conditions, The Bee Hotel simulates them seamlessly. With its simple design, this model can be printed without supports effortlessly. Key specifications include a height of 140 mm, a width of 90 mm, and a depth of 120 mm. Next, simply fill the interior with hollow plant stems such as bamboo or reeds to complete The Bee Hotel. Place it in direct sunlight facing south-east or south for optimal results. Alternatively, suspend it or hang it from a 6 mm screw for versatility. A southern exposure is recommended, ensuring bees can absorb warmth from morning sun since they have cold blood and rely on solar heat to begin their day effectively. Recommended environments include balconies, roofs, small gardens, medium-sized gardens, and large gardens where bees can thrive in controlled sunlight conditions.
