Violet tree bee

Xylocopinae
Apart from its impressive size of 3 cm, the bee turned out to be very dangerous if it felt threatened. a sting on your body can cause huge swelling. And if you are stung in the neck area, the outcome is fatal. Swelling impedes free breathing, followed by suffocation and death. I have tried to approach her more than once. And finally I was lucky enough to shoot a representative of this species.
I have observed that they are not aggressive and aggressive, unlike the Hornets, who are very timid and immediately take a defensive stance. But still, be careful but by no means hysterical. Bathe regularly and do not deodorize when you go out in nature
