Meet the Hive Architect, the Carpenter Independently Installing Homes for Honeybees — Colossal

Matt Somerville, a carpenter and dedicated conservationist, has spent the last 14 years constructing and installing around 800 homes for the declining insect populations in the English countryside. His passion for bee conservation is evident in his work, as he tirelessly builds hives to provide shelter for bees in various locations.

In the documentary film “The Hive Architect,” directed by Max Weston and released by Fera, Somerville is portrayed as a rugged, pipe-smoking artisan who skillfully crafts wooden hives and ventures out into meadows to set them up. Fera challenges the notion that British honey bees rely solely on beekeepers for survival, highlighting Somerville’s efforts as a bee conservationist.

During the winter months, Somerville retreats to his woodshop to create as many hives as possible. As spring approaches and flowers bloom, he takes to the countryside to install the hives in picturesque settings. Using a clever contraption of his own design, Somerville is able to lift and position the heavy structures with ease.

For those interested in learning more about Somerville and his work, his website, Bee Kind Hives, offers insights into his process and mission. The beautifully shot documentary provides a glimpse into Somerville’s dedication to preserving bee populations and the environment.

In addition to the documentary, viewers can explore stunning images of Somerville’s handcrafted hives, showcasing his craftsmanship and commitment to bee conservation. The intricate wooden structures stand as testaments to Somerville’s love for nature and his desire to make a positive impact on the environment.

As the world grapples with environmental challenges, individuals like Matt Somerville serve as beacons of hope, demonstrating that small actions can have a significant impact on biodiversity and ecosystem health. Through his work, Somerville not only provides homes for bees but also raises awareness about the importance of conservation efforts in safeguarding our natural world.
