October 18, 2025 (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)
Following the EU’s official listing of wild honey bees as endangered, the Lacrima Foundation has unveiled a 3D-printed LacriNest log hive designed in Edinburgh to recreate the natural tree-cavity homes that wild and feral colonies need to survive.
The hive requires no management or honey extraction and supports genuine rewilding of pollinators in their natural environment.
Coverage highlighting how technology and ecology come together in Scotland to support threatened wild bee populations through the Lacrima Foundation’s rewilding work.
The Lacrima Foundation is a charitable organisation based in Edinburgh dedicated to restoring the harmony between nature and humanity. Through design-led rewilding projects such as our Rewilding Bees Initiative, we focus on rebuilding self-sustaining wild honey bee populations using natural-habitat log hives, research partnerships, and public engagement.
