That sounds terrific .I’m not familiar with the species. Have you ever come across native bees? Seems they have no stings.
About every eight years A hive forms in my wall cavity, same place. Have never been able to get an apiarist to move them. It is with great reluctance that I calla pest control company.
Don’t have a lot of choice; they find their way inside the house and sting me. My neighbour has complained that my bees have been stinging his kinds. Right now there is swarm in my pepper corn tree.
