Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

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

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
