Giant bee thought extinct found alive
Scientists say that they have re-discovered what was believed to be the largest living species of bees, in Indonesia's North Molucca islands. As big as a human thumb and with a wingspan of over six centimetres, the Wallace giant bee was thought to be extinct. The American wildlife photographer Clay Bolt was there to capture the images.
