At least here in my city (Curitiba - somewhere in the southern cone), the city hall has been plopping beehouses across the city, all of them with native species. That has been going on for a few years, and I did notice them far more often (they go crazy for my sage).
I feel like other places in the Americas could / should do the same.
Yes... An inexpensive idea, how dare you suggest such an easy solution... They need at least 5 consultants to reach a more expensive solution.... ๐
That's a great idea. Hopefully, while adopting the most recent understanding that the overwinter huddling behavior is due to the insufficient design of artificial hives, not typical behavior. They should be cozy, too.
Temperatures here rarely go below 0ยฐC, and when it does it's often just for the night, so huddling isn't a concern. What could be a concern would be summer overheating, but they actually put some thought on where to install those bee houses, they're mostly shadowed by trees.
Pic related. Mind you, this is urban perimeter, around a gov building.
