An extraordinary study is underway at the Tampere railway construction site: bees tell us how construction will affect them

Bees have not previously been used in similar infrastructure projects in Finland.

The impact of tramway construction in the Tampere region is being studied in a unique way.

In April, bee hives will be installed along the future route of the tramway in Pirkkala and Linnainmaa in Tampere, where wild bees and bumblebee colonies will collect information on changes in the vegetation of the area affected by the construction site.

For the first time in Finland, bees are being used in similar infrastructure projects, the Pirkkala-Linnainmaa Alliance of the Tampere Railway informs.

Bees provide information on how changes in the vegetation of the site affect the environment and the community itself.

The beehives are installed along the wine chicken and near the Partola’s future stop. The Rusomuarrahians hatch from their tubes in May and the bumblebees will be brought to the nest by June.

The bee hives are designed to remain in place for the first phase of construction, ie 2025-2028. According to the release, it is important for Pörri to give work peace as they get to know their new homeland.

Beeships are one of the responsibility of the wheelchair project. According to the release, the surrounding nature and biota are also taken into account in the design and construction of the tramway.
