Sweet like honey 🍯

Blessed Easter and may this day be a day as sweet like honey in the jungle. 😄 📷 - We found this piece of beehive on the ground in our jungles here at Ba'Kelalan, one fine day. I thought there were some Sun Bears up on the trees above us, busy feasting on its honey and accidentally dropped one whole piece 😂! YES, there are Sun Bears here, however, this particular beehive was not feasted by them. Usually Sun Bears will grab or dig the beehives from the trees with their claws and tear them apart for eating but this one was feasted by other gentle animals as we saw no claw marks. 📄 - Did you know? Sun Bears are the smallest of the world’s bears serve as forest doctors, engineers and planters and by foraging for termites and other insects, help mix nutrients in the soil. Sun Bears uses its claws to scrape off and destroy termite nests around tree bark, and this in turn saves the host tree from dying due to termite infestation. Holes that they create are eventually used by hornbills or squirrels to nest in. They build homes for other forest dwellers and this is why Sun Bears are forest engineers. As forest planters, they spread seeds of large fruits such as durian and jackfruit when travelling in a wide home range of about 14 square kilometers. They are among the largest mammals in the tropical rainforest and through their travels, they defecate swallowed seeds, away from the mother tree which increases chances of the seeds' survival. 🐻❤ 📍 Ba'Kelalan, Sarawak Highland, Malaysian Borneo #mycountry #malaysia #sarawak #food
