Bee Brick
an innovative nesting site for solitary bees
Bee Brick is an innovative nesting site for solitary bees which can be used in your garden or in a standard brick construction. It creates more habitat for non-swarming solitary bees and is a simple and stylish attempt to revive urban biodiversity.
This brick was designed in South West England by Green&Blue, a family company that manifests sustainability of their products not only through their purpose but also through their material footprint. Two-thirds of the Bee Brick are made out of waste material from a local china clay industry. The brick can be built into any (brick) building or used by itself in a garden.
