Cool. No doubt the solitary bees and wasps will use it. As far as asking farmers if you can keep a hive on their property, that's not uncommon out here either.
I have a beekeeper friend who keeps a hive at a local restaurant. They get some of the honey, which they use, and it's a bit of a novelty that may help expose people to how interesting and essential bees are. I'll see if I can find a link to the place.
