>Why are these holes so much different than what the bees make?

My layman's understanding is that bees make holes for their colonies with thousands of other bees and these things are for the dumb stragglers who are too stupid to find their way home before the temperature drops.

As someone with a pretty gnarly allergy, emotional scarring from seeing "My Girl" in theatres, I think we should just be focused on a way to pollenate plants without bees. Plan for the eventuality of colony collapse and have a backup option. Plus, once we've perfected something, we can let people like me destroy all of the bees, as they are no long serve any ecological purpose and exist only to harass and harm.

I was just typing this but figured someone would beeat me to the punch.

However the idea to do something is good. It's great seeing the few pollen lots around. More of those would be nice, bat houses, real beehives, wild flower projects, etc are all things to poke our city council about and to, when possible, do ourselves.
