\"\"The world’s largest bee has been discovered. And it’s generating a ton of buzz.<\/p>\n

A bunch of scientists went through the Indonesian forest in search of the Wallace’s giant bee \u2014 a species that hadn’t been spotted alive since 1981. It was feared extinct. It wasn’t. They found a female.<\/p>\n

The female bee \u2014 the larger sex of the species Megachile pluto \u2014 is four times the size of the typical European honeybee with a wingspan of 2.5 inches. It’s the largest known bee on the planet. “This is the holy grail of bees.”<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"A Kitchener man has set a new Guinness World Record<\/a> by wearing 260 shirts at once.<\/p>\n

Ted Hastings ordered shirts up to 20 XL from India and attempted the record at a gym. The event raised money for Bridgeport Public School, where his son and daughter attend.<\/p>\n

Hastings said after putting on the 260 shirts — three more than the previous record — that the experience was “generally awful.”<\/p>\n

Here’s Ted Hastings from Canada keeping warm and snug wearing 260 t-shirts ?
