Jordan Waddingham, 12-year-old boy managed to find a beehive honeycomb which is believed to be the largest in the world from a house in Launceston, Tasmania. The world's largest bee hive it after his mother complained about the existence of some European bees in their home.
Associate researcher at the Queen Victoria Museum Launceston, Simon Fearn said Jordan receives $ 20 on these findings. Fearn said the beehive was very large because it was two years old and possibly inhabited by hundreds of thousands of bees.

"Hive only one year old size can be as big as a football, but this nest could reach one cubic meter," he said recently.

"We have to go to the property at night when the wasps were not active to destroy the colony,"

"It took two days to dig a beehive it from beside the stream, and the four men to lift it out of the bushes"

"European bee wasp nests are usually not able to survive through the winter, but last winter classified as mild, because of the dry winter last year that allows the honeycomb it can survive in the second year."

Wasps Europeans first came to the southern hemisphere in 1940 with a ride on a cargo freight sailing towards New Zealand. Hibernating queen bee arrived in Tasmania aboard a cargo of goods in 1959, then the bees had spread across Tasmania in the 60s and 70s, "said Fearn.

"In 1977 the European bees were first detected in Victoria before finally spread to New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia,"

Fearn said the bees were causing a lot of damage to agriculture, but many also eat insects such as flies and caterpillars.

Related bees build their nests in the homes of citizens, Fearn asked residents to be careful to get rid of. "You should not approach this kind of divisive nest during the day because the bees will defend his home with a very hard,"

"Can there be more than one hundred thousand wasps in the nest for this, so we had to wait until nightfall when the wasps are less active."

Fearn himself admitted several times stung by a bee when it must perform surgical removal or destroy beehives.

A review of the literature on European wasp has identified that the beehives were found boys in Tasmania is a beehive of Europe on the ground the largest ever found in the world, weighing almost 100 kg.

Beehive will be exhibited at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Launceston during the Easter holidays. Thank you for reading this article.
