Do you know the saying “if you can think of it, it exists”?
All those weird and wacky business ideas you thought of but never actually made happen? Yeah. Some people are making them happen. And we’re not too sure if that was such a good idea.
Try not to be freaked out.
1. Fairmont Hotel and Resort’s ‘Bee Hotels’, Canada.
Secretly for the past 15 years, this luxury hotel chain has been transforming 16 of its Canadian resorts into hotels… for bees. Scientists suggest that the world is currently witnessing a mass bee die-off, a status the Canadians are hoping to put an end to with these bee bachelor pads. They are providing wood, twigs, and soil in shelf-like compartments that give the bees both a food source and a nesting place. Kaitlynn Dodge, marketing manager at Fairmont headquarters in Toronto, reports that bees pollinate one-third of the world’s food supply and therefore are a species we should certainly be saving.
“What we’re trying to do is educate our guests and the public on the importance to bees and some of the threats to their survival,” Dodge told Take Part.
You’ve got to admit, it’s a pretty good hideaway. You can see more of Fairmont’s programs by clicking here.
2. Cat cafe’s, Tokyo.
If you haven’t heard of them yet, you will. Cat lovers and Forever Alone Women (just kidding) will rejoice as they drink their morning coffee surrounded by oodles of kittens and furrballs.
It began in Japan, where there seems to be almost an obscene amount of stray cats residing, but has since moved to America and our very own Melbourne, Australia. No word yet if we’re getting a dog equivalent. Here’s hoping.

3. The Hangover Heaven Bus, Las Vegas.
You could expect nothing less from a city that thrives on alcohol, gambling and a quickie marriage or two. The daily Hangover Heaven bus is one of the best forms of post-partying transport. You just have to climb aboard to receive IV hydration, anti-nausea medications, and anti-inflammatory medications while recouping the day after. That is, until you realise that you’re paying (in more ways than one) for a night you surely spent a lot of money on and can barely remember, just to to sit in a dark bus with a needle in your arm. Ah, Las Vegas. Don’t tell your kids about this one.
