Australians let us all rejoice, for we have Satan bees!

Adding this to my "why you don't go to Australia" list. Item 576.

It's a native bee, it is tiny and harmless.

Interestingly I was reading the other day about an extinct Aussie crocodile they called a drop crocodile becase they bused to drop on their prey from trees.

Ok, thanks for the additional context. Back down to 575.

The majority of Australian native bees and wasps are tiny and harmless to humans.

It will grant wishes in exchange for your soul, but only if your wish is honey or sting-related.
