Nice

Are they still alive?

Sorry should of said, they are not mine, saw the photos on FB yesterday, they are in London, they were alive on 6th.

But I have also seen several others like this over the years, one was on the outside wall of a stone barn, behind a Virginia creeper, could only be easily seen in winter, they were there for nearly two years before being removed.

I think these have been moved into a box.

Under eaves and window recesses are another choice. It's a shame they cut them down from that tree, they seemed well settled.

Bees have successfully survived for millions of years. The hallmarks of a successful species. With one of the highest gene crossover rates (read potential new genes) their flexibility at adapting to new circumstances is well proven.

And yet they've died out in areas as climates changed. They're faced with habitat loss, alien pests and predators, massively increased virus burdens, poisoning from pesticide use.
I can think of no species that can survive so many factors.
Just look at shark numbers, polar bears and no end of other species that have also "survived" previously.
Mass extinction events are so called for a reason.

Nor me, sadly, it looks like it's the end of the line for them.

I'm presuming you are referring to the bees remains that were found in historic digs in Norway and the like where there are currently no indigenous bees.
Perhaps they aren't quite adapted enough to survive Arctic and Antarctic conditions yet.
Strangely enough neither are tigers/leopards, rabbits, jackasses or a whole slew of other species.

Surely Norway is nearer the Arctic Not the Antarctic?

Why thank you for pointing that pout. Both are bloody cold places with no indigenous bees.
