I have tried for days to contact someone to help with a subscription I pay for but don't get on my cameras. I've chatted it went no where, followed all the links to get help and it goes no where. Google took a very user friendly app with nest and have created a nightmare! I wish there was another option for the nest cameras!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Built by local artist Jayson Fann, the Human Nest is a 20-foot-tall structure made entirely out of eucalyptus branches that have been bent and curved to form a giant, elaborate hideaway. In fact, every branch used in the nest was collected from neighboring land. Since eucalyptus trees are highly flammable and an invasive species in California, almost all of the harvesting sites were provided by local residents who wished to remove the trees from their properties.

Fann, who has lived in Big Sur for more than 25 years, started making nests when he was 13 years old. Inspired by the delicate craftsmanship of bird nests in the wild, Fann wanted to replicate that sense of security for people.

Sitting on four stilts made entirely out of gnarly tree branches, the nest looked mighty but grotesque. An old, warped ladder leaned against it, and the only way to get inside was to climb. Once inside, all we found was a round mattress, damp with mist. Immediately we set about laying down towels, blankets, and sleeping bags. We worked quickly and efficiently despite the lack of light and the limited space (the nest is built to house a maximum of two adults). And before I knew it, we had nestled into our sleeping bags, the gentle wind passing through the gaps in the branches sang us both to sleep.

Outside, the sun continued to rise, turning the sky from milky gray to a warm yellow. And slowly, as the fog began to drift and pass, another surprise was exposed. Through the opening of the nest, filling our entire view, was the glistening Pacific Ocean. I knew we had been close, but I had not expected to look out and find nothing but blue water for miles and miles. The view was unlike anything I had seen before. It made me feel small but deeply grateful.

The Human Nest is located right off Highway 1 at the Treebones Resort in Big Sur, California. Renting the nest starts at $175 per night, with a minimum two-night stay over the weekend and during peak summer months. No children or pets are allowed in the nest. If you book it, try to arrive at least two hours before sunset. All reservations include free breakfast at the lodge, use of the pool and hot tub, and access to the 24-hour restroom facilities (including showers).

Nest predation may influence population dynamics of birds on the Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of Alaska, USA. Anthropogenic development on the ACP is increasing, which may attract nest predators by providing artificial sources of food, perches, den sites, and nest sites. Enhanced populations or concentrations of human-subsidized predators may reduce nest survival for tundra-nesting birds. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that nest survival decreases in proximity to human infrastructure. We monitored 1257 nests of 13 shorebird species and 619 nests of four passerine species at seven sites on the ACP from 2002 to 2005. Study sites were chosen to represent a range of distances to infrastructure from 100 m to 80 km. We used Cox proportional hazards regression models to evaluate the effects of background (i.e., natural) factors and infrastructure on nest survival. We documented high spatial and temporal variability in nest survival, and site and year were both included in the best background model. We did not detect an effect of human infrastructure on nest survival for shorebirds as a group. In contrast, we found evidence that risk of predation for passerine nests increased within 5 km of infrastructure. This finding provides quantitative evidence of a relationship between infrastructure and nest survival for breeding passerines on the ACP. A posteriori finer-scale analyses (within oil field sites and individual species) suggested that Red and Red-necked Phalaropes combined (Phalaropus fulicarius, P. lobatus) had lower productivity closer to infrastructure and in areas with higher abundance of subsidized predators. However, we did not detect such a relationship between infrastructure and nest survival for Semipalmated and Pectoral Sandpipers (Calidris pusilla, C. melanotos), the two most abundant shorebirds. High variability in environmental conditions, nest survival, and predator numbers between sites and years may have contributed to these inconsistent results. We recommend targeted management actions to minimize anthropogenic effects and suggest new research needed on this issue as expanding development is planned for the ACP of Alaska. In particular, we recommend research on demography of key predators and their importance with respect to nest survival, and experimental studies that better address challenges posed by high natural variability.

In this study, we want to assess whether moderate managed honey bee hive density has a negative impact on bumble bee colonies in human-modified landscapes such as Flanders, Belgium. We opted for a coupled study design of paired study sites within a same landscape, but with different densities of managed honey bee hives. We hypothesize that in the areas with fewer managed honey bees a better colony build-up of wild bees will be seen. Hereto, we followed nest development of artificially placed reared Bombus terrestris colonies in the paired apiary dense (AD) and apiary sparse (AS) study sites. The carrying capacity of the landscape to support managed honey bees and sympatric wild bees is a factor to consider. This is determined by spatial variation of landscapes and flower availability on a local and broader scale24,25. This aspect is included by selecting a range of urban to rural landscapes. We included both landscape types as their impact for bees can differ due to the relative importance of floral and nesting resources available26, with urban landscapes being supportive for B. terrestris nest development27.

The development of the nests was followed over a period of six weeks (before new offspring emerge, i.e. drones and daughter queens)43. Biomass increase (mass difference after six week of the plastic cage, containing the brood, workers, foundress queen and nest debris. The sugar container is not included) was chosen as a measure of bumble bee nest development42. As well-developed nest are able to produce more new queens (gynes) at the end of the season44, nest size can be seen as a proxy for reproductive output and thus fitness.

Biomass increase of bumble bee nests in relation to the land cover parameter urbanisation. (A) In the dataset of 2013 we had 3 urban locations while 3 locations had an agricultural character (each locations had 6 nests, with a total of 36 nests). (B) In 2015 the % urbanisation in the 6 locations showed a gradual increase (each locations had 6 nests, with a total of 36 nests). In both years urbanisation had a positive influence on the development of Bombus terrestris nests.

High densities of managed honey bees can potentially compete for floral resources with wild bee populations. In this study, we measured nest development of reared B. terrestris as a proxy for fitness in order to assess whether or not interspecific competition is present. We found that bumble bee nests placed in apiary dense sites had a reduced nest development compared to those in apiary sparse landscapes. This observation shows that colony performance suffers in areas with high densities of A. mellifera and suggest interspecific competition for floral resources.

Previous studies have observed fewer wild bees in areas with high densities of honey bees, yet lower wild bee counts can be a result of spatial displacement of wild bees19, and this must not necessarily lead to significant reductions of wild bee populations. Spatial displacement turns into competitive displacement if both species have identical niches47. Yet, bees have the ability to adjust their foraging preference in accordance to interspecific competition on nectar rewards48. We argue that these alternatives food source choices can also have a fitness cost, and indeed we observed a lower nest development of reared B. terrestris in apiary dense (AD) sites. At least for this specific bumble bee species niche differentiation is not prominent enough to attenuate interspecific competitive interactions with honey bees. Indeed the focal species has an overlap in flower choice8,13, and food resource depletion by honey bees can be expected for this species, especially in simplified landscapes49. But also in the urban context bumble bee flower visitation rates are negatively correlated to honey bee hive densities50.

In many locations (harbouring the two paired AS and AD study sites) bumble bee nests showed no net biomass increase. Also Ellis, et al.51 reported that, mainly in flower-poor environments, reared B. terrestris nests failed to develop. Within our setup, urban environments are linked with good B. terrestris nest development, while in agricultural sites poor or even a drop in nest biomass was observed (Fig. 2). Higher reproductive success in urban opposed to agricultural environments was previously also observed using caught wild queens to initiate nest development27. The impact of urbanisation on bumble bees is not a settled case; it is clear that destruction of natural habitat has a negative impact, yet a different response of functional groups toward urbanisation has been reported52,53. Furthermore the term urbanisation is too broad to be directly used in relation to bee development, as it can cover many different aspects of urban development54. A generalist pollinator, like B. terrestris can forage on typical garden flowers, which could lead towards a food surplus in regions with few nests and therefore good development of the reared B. terrestris nests. In general urbanisation is an important driver of local habitat loss, on the other hand it also provides refuges for certain bee species and functional traits55. ff782bc1db
