19.01.2022 A few people have found native bees in dead or rotting trees lately and have contacted us for ready made hives , so I thought I would make a post about it to help others Transfering native stingless bee hive from a damaged log to a man made hive box can be done as follows adaptions to be made to your own situation PPE first Cover face in insect netting if available , native bees love to get in your hair , eyes and nose to ward you off doing anything to their home . If ...your face is covered you will be more likely to be able to transfer gently concentrating on what you need to do slowly and not being rushed because your uncomfortable / irritated and covered in biting cranky bees Gently repeat GENTLY as possible lever open the log. Using a log splitter , knife , hand spade, whatever tools available gently cut and separate thenest from the log and place the brood together with intact sugarbag honey and pollen pots, ina bucket include as much resin from the nest so that the bees will be drawn back to it. The brood should be placed in exactly the same position as you find it in the log. The pollen pots , brood , all materials are so fragile and easily squashed so please handle as little as possible and very very gently ! shake the log cavity or gently brush the bees out of any crevices with a purpose made bee brush a soft bannister brush may do . Sometimes thequeen may not be with the brood so be very gentle Collect all excess nest by placing in a separate sealed container and remove log debris fromthe immediate area. This will encourage the bees not to cluster on this material. They willremain or return to the bucket with the brood. Place the bucket as close to the original hive position for as long as you can, as the bees will want to return to the nest. Do not take too long, as predators are very quick to enter damaged nests. Ensure hive and excess hive material buckets are placed in a safe shady position. Check for ant activity prior to placing containers on the ground. If ants are in the area, stand the bucketon top of bricks placed in a dish of water. When you are ready to transport the hive, you will need to be prepared for transfer of the hive to a hive box. Place the brood in first, and materials (including their food sources) around the brood. Seal the top, close the lid and tape the two boxes together. Place in a sheltered and suitable position See more
