The giant honey bee is a large honey bee that lives in South and Southeast Asia. It builds its nests in open, high places, such as tree branches, cliff overhangs and buildings. It is known for fierce defence when its nest is disturbed.1

Mostly lives in tall trees in dense forests, and also builds nests on urban buildings. Nests are built in the open and well off the ground, on tree limbs, under cliff overhangs and under buildings. These bees rarely build on old or weak buildings.1

Tge mangia el?

Foragers travel to flowers to collect food, including nectar and pollen, which the colony uses to make honey. Foragers can travel farther than some related bees, though most stay within 400 metres of the nest.1

This bee is known for aggressive defensive behaviour and vicious attacks when disturbed. Workers also attack bees from other colonies, so it is wise to keep well away from nests.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

When disturbed, colonies defend their nest aggressively, and they attack intruders from other colonies.1

Fatgs

Unlike most honey bees, this species forages at night, and it is the only bee of its genus known to do so.1

The queen mates with many drones, and the Himalayan subspecies has the highest levels of polyandry of any social insect.1

Each colony can have up to 100,000 bees, and colonies are only a few centimetres apart in large groups.1

Colonies migrate between nesting sites with the seasons, usually staying about 3 to 4 months at each site.1

Bees use a waggle dance to show other bees the distance, direction and value of a food source.1

Indigenous peoples have traditionally harvested the honey and beeswax of this bee, a practice known as honey hunting.1
