Slurbee is a biocomposite drinking fountain for bees that is created using a mixture of natural clay and sawdust through 3D printing technology. The material is designed to allow water to seep through its surface so that bees can drink it even during the hottest and driest periods of summer. The fountain’s lid protects the water from getting dirty and allows beekeepers to easily refill it when necessary. The porous ceramic material created by mixing clay and sawdust enables bacterial filtration of the water while also making it accessible for bees to drink. The water level is clearly visible, making it easy for beekeepers to keep track of and refill as needed. Additionally, Slurbee can be conveniently attached to a tree using a simple loop on a string. This innovative solution ensures that bees have a reliable source of water to sustain them throughout the summer, benefiting both the bees and their keepers.
