Ekhaya

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

Sitya ntoni?

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

Indlela yokusiqaphela

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

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: 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

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

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

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

Ukuba siyahlaba

Krwela inaliti yenyosi uyikhuphe uze upholise indawo.
Ukuba umntu uphefumla kanzima, ubuso okanye umqala wakhe uyadumba, okanye uziva ngathi uza kufa isiqaqa, yimeko kaxakeka ye-aleji: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka kwaye usebenzise ipeni yakhe ye-adrenaline ukuba unayo.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

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
