SAEDNEWS: In Brighton and Hove, England, Architecture Isn’t Just for Humans Anymore—Bees Now Have a Place on the City Map Too
According to Saed News’ science desk, a law implemented in 2020 requires all new buildings taller than 5 meters to use “bee bricks”—bricks with small, organized holes designed as safe homes for solitary bees. Unlike honeybees, these bees don’t have hives and usually live in wall crevices or tree trunks. But as cities expand and natural spaces shrink, many have lost their homes. Inspired by sustainable architecture, the new law aims to bring a touch of nature back into urban life. Imagine tiny lives thriving inside concrete walls—a bee emerging from a brick in the morning, its soft buzz a reminder that even the toughest materials can shelter life.
