Wallace's Giant Bee. The largest bee in the world is also one of the most elusive. British naturalist and explorer Alfred Russell Wallace first noted giant female megachile pluto (or Wallace's Giant Bee) in 1859, but there are no records of it being seen again until 1981.
The honey bee, Apis mellifera (L.), is our most beneficial insect. We must do all we can to protect bee colonies which are pollinators for many of our home and commercially grown fruits and vegetables. The annual contribution of honey bees to food production in the United States is estimated to be $10 billion. Normally, honey bees favor a cavity entrance that faces southeast and is about 1.5 inches (38 mm) in diameter. 2  A mature honey bee colony can range in population size of 20,000 to 100,000 bees depending on the season. 3  The colony population will peak from late spring to summer and reach a low point in winter.
