Ah yes the famous but elusive Apis Melifera Felina.

Instead of mites this one has fleas.

:-D

Sincerely,
Brendhan

She actually wasn't that upset. She didn't really like the thing on her head, but the fact that she just sat there instead of freaking out and ripping it off instantly says to me that it was briefly tolerable. The coat part she didn't mind at all. :)

I saw a bee so big as a mastin in the web any years ago.
I can´t find the page, it was about the carniolan bee. But I have found that photo in other page edited by an American living in Canarias (Canary islands). I would enjoy a bee so big as a tiger.
