There was a blog in the NYTimes about how the honey bee population in the United States is collapsing.  They proposed an interesting solution, take land out of production and let it be used for native bee habitat reestablishment.  Perhaps we could build a native bee habitat into the Green Dorm?  A Bee Laboratory?
