3D model description

On a journey to discover 3D printing applications to help nature, here's the latest find.

The insect hotel.

The utility of this model is the preservation of pollinators, key players in biodiversity.

Solitary bees build their nests by themselves and lay their eggs in tunnels, such as dead wood or hard soil.

The Bee shape hotel mimics these conditions.

Easy to make, this pattern is designed to be printed without a backing.

Height 100 mm

Width 140 mm

depth 60 mm

Then, it only remains to fill the interior with hollow plant stems (bamboo, reed, etc ...)

Your bee house should be placed in full sun, facing southeast or south.

Suitable for:

Balcony/roof, Small garden, Large garden, Medium garden

You can fix it with two screws (4 mm diameter).

A southern exposure is recommended.

Ideally, they should be able to sunbathe in the morning as they are cold-blooded and need the warmth of the sun to take off in the morning.

But this model can be quite suitable to make a shelf.
