I had to remove a nest box of tree bees recently for someone who was scared of bees. I took it one night & put it in my garden, next day no bees flying from it, though she said there were lots of bees flying from it.
When i moved it i drove 4.8 miles, a fairly straight road but i allowed the .8 for bends so thought 4 miles as the bee flies was easy enough. She rang me 2 days later to say there were lots of bees flying around where the nest box had been. It appears they flew 4 miles home the first morning, is this usual? Do they remember better than honey bees?
