Yes there were no bees remaining. And what caught my notice in the first place were Noisy Miners present inside the freshly cut trunk. Suddenly the bees would have become very vulnerable. Or would they have been removed somehow before the tree was removed, site of removal obvious just near the trunk photographed. I was fascinated though by how intact and pristine the honeycomb remained. A very strong structure.
