SEOUL DESIGN AWARD

Let It Bee has created all-natural pollen capsules with nutrients from algae and dairy products and developed bio-flowers that biodegrade into organic food waste with the aim to help the pollination of endangered honey bees in the city.

Bio-flowers made from sunflower seeds, peanuts, pistachios and walnut shells do not impose a negative impact on the environment and play the role of naturally attracting in honey bees.

A honey bee observation experiment was carried out at the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens in London, England, and showed honey bees transferring pollen as they flew from natural flowers onto bio-flowers.

Let It Bee presents an alternative to design approaches that are centered around humans and technology, and is a project that reminds us of the important role honey bees play in maintaining our ecosystem.
