Bees are important for human survival, as they pollinate over three quarters of our crops!  WWF  states that one out of every three mouthfuls of our food depend on pollinators. Crops that depend on pollination are five times more valuable than those that do not. However, the number of solitary bees are declining due to fewer green spaces. By creating bee houses we can help provide safe spaces for the bees to lay their eggs and continue to pollinate.   Within this workshop, you will have the opportunity to design and make your very own personalised bee houses from recycled bioplastics. The session will include creative thinking exercises where you will design bee houses while considering the challenges that bees face, such as predators and the environment. There will be a beginner’s CAD tutorial on Autodesk Fusion 360 where we will create a basic bee house. You will have an opportunity to adapt and modify the design to include your ideas generated at the beginning of the workshop. Once you have your design – It will be 3D printed at PrintCity where you will be able to collect it and use in a green space of your choice!
