A video of Native stingless bees being removed from a water meter in Brisbane. Native stingless bees also known as Sugarbag bees are commonly found in water meters and irrigation boxes.
Native bees prefer to build there nest in logs and hollows of trees. With clearing of land and bush areas they need to find alternative nest sites. This is where the native bees come along to man made cavities, such as water meters.
At Brisbane Native bees we re-home the bees who find themselves in areas that are not ideal. The nest is moved to a hive box and relocated so they are no longer disturbed and will live for many years into the future. Native bees are commonly found in Brisbane and unfortunately find themselves in places that can be disturbed. Native bees found in areas such as water meters can be safely rescued and removed.
If you find these small back flying insects in your water meter or irrigation box call us at Brisbane Native Bees and we will remove safely for you.
