Amid the rush to complete the Expo 2020 Dubai site, construction work came to a standstill one day in November. The reason? Bees.
But no, the bees did not attack anyone.
The workers and teams onsite were just following a standing order not to harm animals found onsite but to rescue and relocate them wherever possible.
A colony of Apis mellifera bees was discovered at the Expo site, And, by pure coincidence, at the Sustainability Pavilion plot of the 4.38 sq km Expo site.
“The bees have nested on the steel rebar within the plot. As soon as we received the notification and photos and videos, we contacted the Beekeepers Association on whether they would be able to come and rescue the beehive and transfer them to a safer place,” Ayesha Al Marzouqi, Associate – Sustainability and Innovation, Expo 2020
