Wallace's giant bee is the world's (large) bee, with a body the size of a human thumb and wings that can spread to about 2.5 inches. That may sound (frighten), but the bee isn't likely to hurt anyone. It uses its large jaws (嘴) to collect a sticky goo, called resin, from trees. The bee (make) its home in termite mounds (白蚁丘) found on trees, using the resin to protect its nest from the termites. Until recently, the bee had been seen by scientists only (two), once in 1868 and again in 1981.
