love the project, just a bit expensive, neraly 50 pounds for the cube and 30 for one 'normal' brik sounds like a lot

Why can't these holes be added to normal bricks? Or be made out of same material as masonry brick?

His voice is fine. I didn't expect these comments

nice design, sustainable development.

That’s really cool. Absolutely love it.

Love the product!

Not enough info on Bee specifics.... Interesting though.

good

jajaj cool

Love these nature based solutions ... yes a lot of these ideas are costly but which cost do you really want to pay? Extinction or cash

👍

I fell asleep halfway through. If the bee thing doesn't pan out, dude should read bedtime stories for $$.

The idea seems great on the surface, but there’s a few issues I noticed right away. Most notably, there’s too many holes per brick. As the name suggests, solitary bees do not prefer to live in close quarters to one another, so either some holes will go unused, or there will be an element of stress for the bees that nest there. Trying to accommodate multiple species of different sizes in one brick would only exacerbate that. Also, various bees living in close proximity could potentially lead to an increased spread of diseases and parasites among them, which would likely do more harm than good if multiple bricks are adjacent to one another. There’s also the issue of hygiene, as these bricks do not seem easy to clean. Should a nest fail, the contents inside will rot, harboring potentially dangerous bacteria and fungi that could spread to healthy bees and nests. Solitary bees do not reuse nests, and will not build new ones where there are remains of another, even if it produced healthy bees. While other creatures may take over a “spent” nest once the larvae have matured and flown off, such as keyhole wasps, if the goal is to help the bees this doesn’t seem like the best design. In fact I would imagine parasites would thrive in such an environment, while predators could easily pick off multiple parent bees; in this setup, finding one bee is equivalent to finding a feast because of how close together they are. I feel that the design would be more effective if it was altered to serve as more of an outdoor decoration than a building material; something that is easy to clean so that old nests can be removed to make way for new bees. It would also be ideal if it was able to be moved after installation if wanted or needed, such as in the situation where it was put somewhere that gets too much sun or gets hit by sprinklers that were installed later. Also, reduce the overall number of holes, and have designs that focus on supporting one kind of bee or species of similar sizes. This would benefit the bees as well as consumers who would rather attract certain kinds of solitary bees or have a particular design for the outdoor space in mind. Plus, it would probably make the cost less likely to turn potential buyers away; paying that price for a lawn or garden decoration sounds much more reasonable than paying for “a glorified cinder block”. Who knows, maybe if it takes off it could be expanded to include other colors or recycled materials! Or even get people to appreciate the other buzzy lads that might pay a visit, such as beneficial solitary wasps. Though that last one is probably a stretch given that a lot of western culture has only recently begun to appreciate bugs besides butterflies, bees, and ladybugs. But hey, maybe someday.

Wow these comments. Tik tok nation. Can't stand a video for more than 30 seconds. His voice is soothing. Whats wrong with having a posh English voice?

uhhhh wha a booring and irritating narration! great project, but get someone else to tell the story...
