The hotels and bunkers are coming courtesy of a project -- the Pollinator Port Project -- announced on Thursday between the city's Department of Transportation, The Horticultural Society of New York and Rutgers University to create habitats for native bees.
If you see bees nesting around certain certain public plazas and open streets around the city in the future, just know that's their "hotel" or "bunker".
"Our Open Streets and public plazas have always buzzed with activity, but this year they're going to be the bee's knees," said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez in a press release. "Bees are essential for the health of our planet, and this initiative will create habitats for at-risk native bee populations and help facilitate important scientific research."
"Only one out of the roughly 100 species of native bees that makes its home in New York City can live in a hive, all the others have to find their own places to raise their offspring," said Rutgers University bee scientist Kim Russell. "They can crawl into and lay their eggs and they take a rest but can come and go," Horticultural Society of New York's Sarah Hobel said. "They too need green to thrive, they need habitat throughout the city and to pollinate all the plants we need as people."
