Prince William sat down with CNN's Christiane @amanpour today in Rio de Janeiro to discuss his ambitious environmental project, the @EarthshotPrize.

He spoke about why the project gives him hope, including for his own children.

Full interview airs at 6pm GMT today on @cnni

Thanks for covering. Key point: this is for rewilding wild bees (not farmed honey production). Designed in Edinburgh. Field demos available.

After honey bees are declared endangered, the humble bee can be saved – with the help of a 3D printer!

🔍 Why it matters

Honeybees dominate headlines, but wild bees are declining fastest.

Modern hives are built for farming, not ecology.

Our design mimics hollow trees, letting colonies live as they evolved.

[The LACRIMA Foundation @LacrimaFdn]

🚨 Wild honeybees are now officially endangered in the EU.
This isn’t the end — it’s the call to rewild. 🐝

🐝 Another step for wild bees!
Today we installed a 3D-printed log hive at Ravenscraig Walled Garden 🌳

No honey. No harvesting. Just space to live wild.
Rewilding isn’t a trend. It’s a return.

America’s bees are in trouble and so is our food supply

A shocking new survey shows U.S. beekeepers have lost over 1.1 million honey bee colonies in less than a year. That’s 62% of all managed hives - the highest loss rate ever recorded.

Why does this matter?

Because honey bees pollinate the food we eat - almonds, fruits, vegetables, and countless other crops. Without them, food production is at risk, costs will rise, and farmers will struggle.

This isn’t just a bad year. It’s a warning. Bees are dying at an unsustainable rate, and we need real solutions.

At Lacrima Foundation, we’re working to rewild honey bees by creating natural, self-sustaining habitats with our 3D-printed log hives. We believe the future of beekeeping isn’t industrial - it’s wild, resilient, and in harmony with nature.

The time to act is now. Support solutions that put bees first.
