The giant honey bee (Apis dorsata) is a honey bee of South and Southeast Asia. Many crops in southern Asia like cotton, mango, coconut, coffee, pepper, star fruit, and macadamia depend on the wild Apis dorsata pollination. These bees build open nests on tree branches or buildings, a colony can store 4 to 6 kg of honey. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
