Bee Brick®

After a chat with ecology company Wildcare, Studio Seventeen are now happy to confirm we have pledged with Wildcare to include at least one bee brick on each of our designs (at client’s discretion). Please see below extract from Wildcare explaining what beebricks are.

“Great for garden lovers, design lovers and nature lovers, the Bee Brick® is an innovative nesting site for solitary bees, created to look lovely just standing in your garden, with the added innovation that the brick can also be used in place of a standard brick in building, creating more habitat for non-swarming solitary bees. The Bee Brick® provides a stylish nesting site for red mason and leafcutter bees, amongst other cavity-nesting species, and makes a real design statement in any bee-friendly garden, allotment, or building. Solitary bees are fascinating to watch and a wonderful way to introduce kids to bees, solitary bees have no queen or honey to protect, meaning they are non-aggressive and won't sting. Bee houses can be a simple way to do something to help our declining bee population, alongside bee-friendly planting and other wildlife-friendly measures.”
