This paper can save exhausted bees

• https://www.fastcodesign.com

Bee populations are drastically declining and scientists can't figure out exactly why. If it's not infections or insecticides, it's cell phones, pollution, and anthropogenic displacement. Exponential urbanization and industrialization, scientists suspect, may be pushing bees to travel longer distances to find pollen, killing them through exhaustion. Some experts have proposed urban beehives and refuges to help worn-out bees, but that would take money at scale (and cities pose their own obstacles). What bees may need are places to fuel up along the way–in short, they need gas stations.
