The Importance of Honeybee (Apis Mallifera) in the Ecosystem

Published on Sep 23, 2022

Conventionally, animals tend to be perceived as parasites whose presence is not invited. In this project, animals show the potential to expand this discourse, bridging the relationship between architecture and the wider context: how to design based on animals and how animals are the primary consideration in the design process. In particular, it will be studied on honey bees through an understanding of (1) their relationship with each other: the worker, the queen, and the drone; (2) their connection with the environment: the life cycle of bees, their connection with their habitat, what plant they prefer; and (3) their connection with people and beekeeper to produce responsive designs. In response, it is important to note how architecture plays a role in keeping and maintaining the bee cycle. It highlights the important role of honeybees as pollinators in the ecosystem that maintains urban green cover and agriculture.
