The native bee was found near a rare wildflower, prompting scientists to call for the area to be protected.

      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.

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