2023/24 WS Bee Back Soon is a kit to make your own insect hotel.
Inside the kit, you will find some clay and beeswax to help you make a soil brick hotel for solitary bees, following the basic instructions provided in the booklet. The informative booklet can also become a cute poster to hang on the wall.
The kit encourages you to get outside and collect natural elements to add to your hotel in order to make it even more cosy and unique for the bees to enjoy.

Findings On Soil
Life on earth depends on healthy soils. We focused on soil as a do-it-yourself material in the context of art, design and architecture. Through hands-on exercises and guest workshops we explored its material qualities, its everyday use and discussed possible futures for the world of soils. With the BITZ fablab we developed experimental kits to (re)connect and engage people with soil.
