“…The diet of Vespa velutina is reported to consist at least in one third of bees (Monceau et al 2014). Another species of hornet, Vespa orientalis is considered a key pest of honeybees in the middle east, where hive mortalities of up to 50% have been reported (Abd Al-Fattah and Ibrahim 2009; Wood and Ratnieks 2004;Abd Al-Fattah et al 2014). On the other hand, Vespa cabro represents a relatively mild predator for A. mellifera ligustica although it can have a considerable impact on debilitated colonies (Baracchi et al 2010).…”

Social wasps are important predators of honeybees, attacking hives to steal honey, pollen, larvae, and adults. Wasps of the genus Vespula are considered agricultural pests in many invaded areas, but their impact on Apis mellifera in these areas is poorly understood. Here, we studied agonistic interactions between V. germanica wasps and honeybees in Patagonia, Argentina. We found that the attack intensity was positively correlated with wasp density and that the colonies with lower honeybee traffic were the most affected by the wasps. We conclude that V. germanica has a significant impact on honeybees in this invaded area in Patagonia suggesting beekeepers need to be alert during the summer months to reduce wasp density of this insect pest.
