The world's biggest bee has been re-discovered, after decades thought lost to science. The giant bee - which is as long as an adult's thumb - was found on a little-explored Indonesian island. After days of searching, wildlife experts found a single live female, which they photographed and filmed.Known as Wallace's giant bee, the insect is named after the British naturalist and explorer Alfred Russel Wallace, who described it in 1858.Scientists found several specimens in 1981, but it has not been seen since.

Christ, look the size of that lad. That's gargantuan.
Disclaimer: If anyone in this thread makes shitty bee puns, I'm starting a change.org petition to get you perma-banned.
Don't fret - we're an anti-pun hivemind here.
Absolute unit
Bees are rad and that guy is a shitload of rads.
That thing looks prehistoric, what the hell.

i won't hesitate, bitch
It's a good plan as long as the mods themselves don't start making puns. That would really sting you
Garry was already planning on doing that months ago, which especially stings that you would bring that up again.
Also, that bee is fucking terrifying.
Update: They just showed this on BBC News channel and the presenter was a bee truther and reckoned it didn't look that big in the pics
Congress needs to investigate this bee
We need to forbid that girl from breeding, else we could have a "Giant bee" issue.
jesus fuck that thing has massive mandibles, that's the last thing I expected to see on a bee
No Buzzfeed article?
Smh.
Could this a massive ad for Bee Movie 2?
Get to cross-breeding these with honey bees please. I want to see hives the size of small trees producing the good shit.
Lies, this bee is much bigger:
