Native Bees found in witches hat

Native bees located in a witches hat in Brisbane.

The video below shows location and removal of Native bees that were located by the homeowner in stored witches hat in their front yard. The Native bees have set up in the witches hat and formed a colony within.

Native bees are found throughout Brisbane and often located in Brisbane City Council water meters. The Native bees require a cavity protected from the elements and water meters offer this protection. Native bees are also found in upturned plant pots, garden ornaments, brick walls of homes and other fixed items that provide a cavity of suitable size and protected from the rain and sun.

Native bees are small flying Black insects and can be found swarming around the area they are nesting in. Native bees often go unnoticed as the quietly go in and out of the water meter or as in this case a witches hat. Native bees will often swarm, during these swarm masses of bees are in the air forming a black cloud and this is when you are likely to first notice that you have located a native bee nest.
