Ants have strength when it comes to attacking, no matter the size of the thing.
It’s sad to hear that ants were attacking it, but nature is full of such battles, isn’t it? Still, your effort to free it speaks of kindness and curiosity. Even though it couldn’t fly away immediately, maybe it just needed some time to recover from the stress.
Nice to know that Apis dorsata is indeed common in places like Bangladesh, where they build large, exposed hives high up in trees or in rocky ledges.🐝
