Brett from Energex recently came across a Buzz in a Energex power pole and quickly knew what the issue was, Native Stingless Bees!
Energex often replace timber power poles due to rot and termites and the Energex team are well aware of other fauna and flora that can take up residence in their power poles. This power pole was in need or replacement due to rot and Brett from Energex assessed pole prior to removal and contacted us at Brisbane Native Bees to assist in the rescue and relocation of the native bees.
The power pole was in Spring hill Brisbane and Callum from Energex was given the task with his team to carefully remove pole housing the Native Stingless Bees. Power was disconnected and cranes used to remove the pole followed by Callum on the chainsaw.
The Native stinglees bees will now be relocated and live happily in the remains of the power pole for many years into the future.
Thanks to Brett, Callum and the Energex team for looking out for wildlife during works and Brisbane Native Bees look forward to working together with Energex into the future.
