Description
Datecrete Studio's Datecrete Bee Hotel is a living sculpture designed to support local solitary bees and wasps, offering a habitat to meet the nesting needs of these essential pollinators. With specifications developed as part of a year-long research program guided by biologist Nico Pantaleoni of SLA Studio, the work is both an artwork and an ecological intervention. It is made entirely from Datecrete, a patent pending sustainable building material pioneered and developed entirely by the artists, using date seeds with no traces of concrete or resin.
