Brazil is turning highways into lifelines for pollinators. Along stretches of road, bee hotels — simple wooden blocks drilled with small tunnels — now provide safe resting stops for solitary bees navigating crosswinds and fragmented habitats. These miniature sanctuaries are more than just shelters.
Many of Brazil’s native bees don’t live in hives, so they rely on such spaces to pause, recharge, and continue pollinating crops, forests, and wildflowers. Some medians even include native plants and wildflowers, giving pollinators both shelter and food in one stop.
Roads often slice through ecosystems, creating gaps that disrupt insect flight paths. By placing bee hotels in highway medians, Brazil is reconnecting those broken corridors and supporting the survival of hundreds of native species.
This initiative reflects a bigger vision: small changes can bring massive ecological benefits. By protecting pollinators, Brazil is also protecting biodiversity, food security, and forest regeneration. These bee hotels prove that even highways — symbols of human industry — can become bridges of life for nature.
