Sir David Attenborough visits Malaysia to take a closer look at the life of the world's largest honey bees. When one sting can lead to a thousand very quickly in a very defensive colony of killer bees, Sir David is quite keen to make a good impression!. Amazing video from BBC animal and wildlife show 'Life in the Undergrowth'.

From Spolia zeylanica v.6 (1909-1910), a photograph of a beehive being constructed in a verandah at the Colombo Museum in Sri Lanka. The text reads:

“During the building operations at the new wing of the Museum the outer verandah was appropriated by a swarm of bambara bees (Apis Dorsata) [...] They crowded together one over the other to form a dense swaying mass in the characteristic crescentic shape of the future comb [...] Individual bees were constantly leaving the mass and returning to it laden with yellow bee-bread, round pollen-masses attached to the hind legs (femora).”

Hazbin Hotel has really, really latched onto me with their filthy grabby hands.

And I've even made an OC! That I'm sharing! with the internet which is so absurd i dont do that

anyway, this is Honey. They're a Queen, a Bee, and a Queen Bee. Loosely based of the Apis Dorsata species of Honey Bee. Though I was tempted to base them of Apis Mellifera Mellifera, to give it the nickname Melli, or Fera. But Honey already had a good ring to it, plus the Apis Dorsata make their hives on cave walls and I thought that it strangely fit!

MORPHOMETRIC TRAITS OF Apis dorsata WORKER BEES OF JOGIMATTI FOREST AND CHITRADURGA. KARNATAKA – INDIA | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY

The freshwater garfish, Xenentodon cancila (Hamilton, 1822), is a needlefish species found in freshwater and brackish areas in South and Southeast Asia. This fish is a regular aquarium favourite. While these fish are linked to the marine needlefish known as gar or garpike in Europe, they are far more distantly connected to other fishes known as gars. For the first time, Trichodina cancilae Asmat, 2001 was discovered parasitizing the gills of a freshwater fish known as Kokila in Assam, India (X. cancila Hamilton, 1822). T. cancilae morphology and morphometrics are discussed here, along with a comparison of the same species found in West Bengal and Bangladesh. This Trichodina species lies within the morphometric range and shares the original population's overall look of the sticky disc.
