怎样认出它

One of the largest bees in Europe1
Makes its nest in dead wood1
Adults emerge from hibernation in spring, usually around April or May1
In late spring or early summer, adults are seen searching for mates and nesting sites1

常被误认为： In India, several all-black Xylocopa species are called 'bhanvra' (or 'bhomora' in Assamese). Sightings of these are often wrongly blamed on this species. This species is found only in the northern regions of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab. Most sightings refer to other black carpenter bees, such as X. nasalis, X. tenuiscapa or X. tranquebarorum.1

如果它蜇人

刮掉蜜蜂的蜇针，冷敷患处。
如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话，如果他们有肾上腺素笔就使用。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识
