Native stingless bees removed and rescued in Brisbane during demolition of a retaining wall.
The builder and home owner were very alert and stopped works and called Brisbane Native Bees to rescue these bees. This was the first the home owner became aware of the Native stingless bees as they can be very secretive in their nesting sites.
On arrival it was noted the Stingless Native bees were well established and a large swarm bees was present due to the disturbance and demolition work. The area was assessed and the brood section of the nest was carefully transfer to a Native bee hive box. The brood section contains the queen, nurses and worker native bees.
