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

Anaishi
South and Southeast Asia, from the Indian subcontinent to China, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka1

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

Hula nini?
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

Jinsi ya kumtambua

  • Typically 17 to 20 mm long1
  • Builds a single vertical comb of wax, hanging from above1
  • The comb is covered by a dense mass of bees in several layers1
  • Nests can reach up to 1 metre across and are often grouped, with up to 200 colonies in one tree1
  • Aggressive when its nest is disturbed1

Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: The Himalayan giant honey bee (A. laboriosa) is very similar in shape. It has a darker abdomen and longer thoracic hair, and is now treated as a separate species from the giant honey bee.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKudungwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.

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

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

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

Akidunga

  • Kwangua mwiba wa nyuki na upoze mahali hapo.
  • Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura na umtumie kalamu yake ya adrenalini kama anayo.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

  • Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
  • Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
  • Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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