Island Bee & Bee: Follow Bee! Peng Chau

YIWOOO.CO & Ching Yee

Bamboo, soil, and wood are common building materials in our daily lives. However, have you ever imagined that insects also use these natural materials to construct their nests? We invite everyone to join us to create habitats for solitary bees using these materials and, at the same time, learn about their characteristics – homes for bees and knowledge for us.
We will be visiting the 'Island Bee & Bee' installation and then making homes for our neighbours!
