Nothing new in this article/research, I already new that from the research on Imidacloprid a while ago. The part about young bees maturing faster to forage maybe new but for me this is common sense and needs no science wasting money on it. That money could have planted many bee friendly trees instead! Science seems to be rediscovering hot water  |

Conserving wild bees
Research suggests that bumble bee boxes have a very low success rate in actually attracting bees into them. We find that if you create an environment where first of all you can attract mice inside, such as a pile of stones, a drystone wall, paving slabs with intentionally made cavities underneath, this will increase the success rate.
Most bumble bee species need a dry space about the size a football, with a narrow entrance tunnel approximately 2cm in diameter and 20 cm long. Most species nest underground along the base of a linear feature such as a hedge or wall. Sites need to be sheltered and out of direct sunlight.
There is a spectacular display of wild bee hotels here
