Razors Edge ★ Posted February 22, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 22, 2019 I like a bee, but that one might rough up some birds, and I like birds. Is there a giant spider that eats giant bees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted February 22, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 22, 2019 Darling. The bee is at the front door. He want's his honey back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Turner Posted February 22, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2019 ...I have been eagerly following this story. I think a bee that lives as an intruder in active termite mounds is pretty bad ass, from an evolutionary standpoint. I am a little worried for them when I read the part about a mysterious giant bee specimen that sold for $8,000 on e-bay recently, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted February 22, 2019 Share #10 Posted February 22, 2019 This is what gives me nightmares: The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), including the subspecies Japanese giant hornet (V. m. japonica),[2] colloquially known as the yak-killer hornet,[3] is the world's largest hornet, native to temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. They prefer to live in low mountains and forests, while almost completely avoiding plains and high-altitude climates. V. mandarinia creates nests by digging, co-opting pre-existing tunnels dug by rodents, or occupying spaces near rotted pine roots.[4] It feeds primarily on larger insects, colonies of other eusocial insects, tree sap, and honey from honey bee colonies.[5] The hornet has a body length of 45 mm (1.8 in), a wingspan around 75 mm (3.0 in), and a stinger 6 mm (0.24 in) long, which injects a large amount of potent venom.[6] The Asian giant hornet is sometimes confused with the yellow-legged hornet (Vespa velutina), also known as the Asian hornet, an invasive species of major concern across Europe, including the UK.

maddmaxx ★ Posted February 22, 2019 Share #12 Posted February 22, 2019 To bee or not to bee. That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The stings and arrows of outrageous anthophila, Or to take arms against a bee of trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
