No sting in the tail for bee orchid in successful transplant to new grounds

Bee Orchid

Builders have transplanted hundreds of rare orchids to safety in Cork in what's believed to have been one of the largest plant transplant operations of its kind in the country.

The relocation of the striking specimens of bee orchid was performed by developers BAM as part of the enabling infrastructure work it is doing for Cork County Council on a large site earmarked for housing at Water-Rock near Midleton in East Cork — one of the first in the country to adopt a Pollinator Plan.
