45,000 Bees Moved from Harbor Bridge Project by FlatironDragados

On September 8, 2026, FlatironDragados successfully relocated a colony of 45,000 honey bees from the Harbor Bridge project in Texas, showcasing how construction can integrate wildlife protection.

During the project, crews found the bees under a maintenance hole cover. Instead of exterminating them, the team collaborated with a local honey farm to safely move the colony, which will be monitored for three months before possibly merging with other honey-producing colonies. This action aligns with the Texas Department of Transportation's commitment to pollinator-friendly practices and habitat preservation.
