For the Swarm
The Giant Honey Bee (Apis dorsata) is one of the largest honey bee species, with workers reaching up to 17 mm (0.67 inches) in length! Found primarily in South and Southeast Asia, these bees build massive, open-air combs—often more than a meter (3.3 feet) wide—hanging from cliffs or tall trees. Unlike many other honey bees, they do not nest in enclosed spaces. Known for their ferocious defense strategies, they perform a synchronized "shimmering" wave by flipping their abdomens in unison to deter predators like hornets and birds. Despite their intimidating nature, they play a crucial role in pollination and maintaining the health of their ecosystems.
