Eh, I'm not an expert but I think most trams move slow enough that they aren't going to take out pollinators. They won't crush them on the flowers, only risk would be when flying in the air. A decent aerodynamic deflector of some kind would probably help. The modern equivalent of a cattle guard on an old steam train.

I'm also not an expert, but I've seen a tram go slow enough that someone was trying to lick it as it passed. ... Yeah, that was pretty weird..
