A many storeyed Apis dorsata apartment.-

On the Geddesal road, the bees are now a common sight on the tall Eucalyptus trees. I must have seen these nests for over 5 years now and their numbers are definitely growing. They have found good refuge in these tall plantation trees and according to Rajendran, by choosing to nest on thin branches they can't make a lot of honey, since the branch cannot hold that weight. The tall Eucalyptus trees are difficult to climb and no honey hunter is scaling the trees. Have the bees finally found a spot which is safe from human beings?
