minus-squareMouselemming@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 days agoWould the bees be injured by passing trams?
minus-squareNightFantom@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·10 days agoI’d guess less than by not having any flowers at all. Where I live, most (non metro) trams drive pretty slow, like 30km/h in long straight parts, so unless they get between the wheels and the rails I doubt anything would really hurt the bees.
minus-squarePofski@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·10 days agoTrams on average do not drive too fast. I would imagine that bees would easily be able to evade them or even be bumped out of the way.
