  1. Very hard to say, this seems to be a quite variable species. Definitely think you're close. Posted 4 years ago

"Apis dorsata", the giant honey bee, is a honey bee of South and Southeast Asia, found mainly in forested areas such as the Terai of Nepal. They are typically around 17–20 mm long. Nests are mainly built in exposed places far off the ground, like on tree limbs, under cliff overhangs, and sometimes on buildings.
