8. 3D Printing Files – Solitary Bee Lodge

The Irish Bee Conservation Project, in collaboration with University College Cork (UCC) and Munster Technological University (MTU) Schools of Architecture, has developed a 3D-printed Solitary Bee Lodge to support and raise awareness of Ireland’s native solitary bees.

Disclaimer:

The 3D files made available for download on our website were created and supplied by UCC and MTU Schools of Architecture as part of a collaborative educational and conservation initiative.

These files are intended for personal, non-commercial use only.

Users download and print the files at their own risk, and IBCP, UCC, and MTU accept no liability for the quality, function, or structural safety of 3D-printed lodges made from these designs.

The lodges are designed specifically for cavity-nesting solitary bees, which prefer enclosed tubes to lay their eggs.

Please ensure appropriate materials and environmental placement to support bee wellbeing and safety.

9. Privacy and Data Protection

IBCP handles personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For more, see our Privacy Policy.
