Wild Bee-hive on the branch of a Rambuttan tree, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

I was looking for a bee colony to replace the one we have in our home-garden. I was told that there was a hive near a house of a friend of mine. When I went to see it I found that the bees were larger in size. These were not suitable for a home hive as they do not stay in one place for too long.
