Če piči

Čebelje želo postrgaj ven in mesto ohladi.
Če ima poškodovanec težave z dihanjem, otekel obraz ali grlo ali se mu vrti, kot da bo omedlel, gre za nujno stanje zaradi alergije: pokliči številko za klic v sili in uporabi njegov adrenalinski avtoinjektor, če ga ima.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

vredno vedeti

Dejstva

It is the largest known living bee species, with a female wingspan of 63.5 mm (2.5 in).1

It was believed to be extinct until several specimens were discovered in 1981.1

The female uses her large jaws to carry large balls of tree resin, which she gathers to build compartments inside the termite nest.1

A female was filmed and photographed in 2019 after she was found building her nest in a termite colony on Halmahera. She was then released.1

Two specimens collected in Indonesia in 2018 were sold on eBay, which highlighted how little legal protection the species has.1

The species is one of the 25 'most wanted' lost species in Global Wildlife Conservation's 'Search for Lost Species' initiative.1
