The frame for the World's Largest Bee House was constructed by chartered builder Edward Morgan and it was filled with stone, bricks, pre-drilled concrete, wooden blocks and plant material. All these materials have been donated by local businesses or sourced from the trust’s own nature reserves. Inmates at Maidstone Prison have built many of the internal component parts of the structure in their workshops.
