Fleet bee with the best living view

The winners of the insect hotel building competition in the "Mobile Bee Meadows" project  have been chosen and awarded prizes in the last few days.

The winners are Mr. Alexander Klimmek and the Ringwelski construction team. Mr. Klimmek has built a very original insect hotel to hang from a mix of recycled and natural materials. The filling consists mainly of natural materials such as bamboo cane, birch wood, straw, pine cones and beech branches. The paint is biodegradable tempera paint (vegan). The following were recycled for the construction: a tin can, cardboard rolls, ice cream sticks, tetrapack lids for the feet, packaging material for felt pens as wings and jute string from old Christmas presents. The front of the bee is decorated with eyes made from crown corks. Prof. Ringwelski and her daughter have built an insect hotel out of wood together, putting various old items to new use. The hotel stands in their garden and is waiting for its inhabitants to move in.
