Hexagonal depth, hand-hewn for native pollinators
The Bee Sanctuary is a sculptural habitat wall built for native solitary bees — mason bees, leafcutter bees, and wool carder bees — species that neither sting in defense nor form colonies, but are among the most efficient pollinators in North America. One hundred and forty-four hand-drilled channels of varying diameter (4–10mm) burrow into a carved cedar face, each depth tuned to a different bee species. The outer frame is carved in low-relief contours suggesting a honeycomb in flux, never geometric, always organic.
