LIKe: Historical Honeybee Articles - Beekeeping History

Indian Fruit Bats are social animals that roost together in large noisy colonies. These bats roost in large trees which have spreading branches, a single roosting site may have a hundred or more individuals.

Apis dorsata, the giant honeybee of India, also prefers to build nests in large trees which have spreading branches. Occasionally, a colony of fruit bats may choose a tree to roost which harbors colonies of Apis dorsata.

The Chase: Driving from the Ghaghra River toward Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh, India, I noticed a huge cloud of around 300 or 400 bats that began to scatter in all directions. It was only when I zoomed in that I realized that the flying mammals were being chased by honey bees. Eventually some of the bats settled on nearby trees with the bees hovering around
