It is thought to live only in primary lowland forests. Its communal nests are built inside active nests of the tree-dwelling termite Microcerotermes amboinensis. Oil palm plantations now cover much of its former habitat.1

Xibaar

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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