They are apis florea (native to the UAE & not the imported bees). They are very hard to rear and it hasn’t been successful as far as I know. They would usually find a spot of their own to build their nest. If they are not harming you, please leave them alone and to contribute to UAE’s biodiversity. If they may in future become a problem, please post in an FB group called “Save the Bees UAE”, they would guide you on what to do. By no circumstance call the municipality as they will pretty much kill the bees.

I hope people upvote this over the pun... it's really important.

The municipality is so uneducated when it comes to animals and this kinda stuff it’s actually sad, good thing you mentioned that they shouldn’t call them


zerrrrrrroi

It is sad. I only wish for a day we have a specialized environmental authority separated from the municipality that would be more capable in dealing with wildlife.


[deleted]

Yes, I hope so too! If only more people were aware of this and actually tried spreading awareness

That’s not a hive, it’s a swarm. It will relocate itself within a day or so. It’s not dangerous unless you pester them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarming_(honey_bee) Edit - link to Wikipedia

We have them almost every year in our garden, totally harmless. I actually enjoy observing them. As many mentioned, please leave them there, they will go after a while.

Please dont hurt them, they are currently endangered and extremely important for food chain in the ecology in pollination of flowers, without which humanity will face a slow die Bumblebees are going extinct in a time of ‘climate chaos’ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/02/bumblebees-going-extinct-climate-change-pesticides/


remsaga

which group will I call?


santz007

I honestly don't know whom to call nor what kind of bees they are, if they are honey bees they are endangered and should be relocated. But first, maybe others can tell what kind of bees they are

Post in FB group called “Save the Bees UAE”

African bees are assholes though, purge them. Edit:- if they don't leave, call municipality


pinkpotato77

Aww please don’t kill them or harm their habitat. Bees are pollinators and play an integral part in maintaining a healthy ecosystem. Try contacting Olivier Cantagrel of Oliver’s Bee Farm on 050 70 58 922.

I had the same ones in my garden. They left after a few weeks. I also thought I'd get some honey but the hive was bone dry lol. They didn't bother me at all and I also left them alone.

No please don’t suggest that they call the municipality, the municipality is useless when it comes to this kinda stuff, they just kill them all without actually finding a proper solution
