“…Previous studies have found that cues associated with their prey but not directly coming from the prey influence the foraging behavior of some parasitic wasps (11) and social wasps like Mischocycattrus flavitarsis take olfactory cues from the plant that has injured by the feeding activity its prey (9). Our results are supported by the study of Sweelam et al (14) who found that fermented sugar syrup and bee honey attracted oriental hornet queens and workers in the field, and agree with Mazeed et al (9) which concluded that the trap with bee honey and syrup were the best way to control the hornet V. orientalis…”

“…In a study conducted in Egypt to attract oriental wasps to traps using various attractants, the bee honey solution was the most effective, capturing 66.5 workers per week, while tuna captured 36 workers per week (14). In a study carried out in Dohuk province, north of Iraq, to evaluate the efficacy of four types of baits included: Tuna fish, meat, sheep lung, and chicken meal; the result showed that the fish bait was the highest attractant with 67.75 insects/bait (3).…”

This study was carried out in the bee laboratory in the Faculty of Agriculture –University of Kufa in September 2021 to evaluate some protein sources and hive products against the oriental hornet Vespa orientalis Linnaeus 1771 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae). The food sources included: beef meat, gut fish, beef lung, honeybee, wax, propolis, pollen, bee worker, and water, in addition to control which was an empty petri dish. The number of visits and their duration were calculated. The results showed that the wasps preferred bee honey and wax significantly higher than the rest of the stimuli.

“…Despite the fact that a number of pests attack A. mellifera colonies, V. orientalis was recorded to be one of the most destructive because it causes heavy losses and the spread of bee pathogens among apiaries (Arena, 2022 ; Nowar, 2016 ; Sweelam et al., 2019 ). Adults are fed carbohydrates and sugary substances such as nectar, honeydew and ripe fruits (Archer, 1998 ; Smith‐Pardo et al., 2020 ), while oriental hornet's larvae need a great amount of proteins in order to develop properly.…”

BackgroundOriental hornets are large predatory hymenoptera that occur in the southern part of Asia and the southeastern Mediterranean. Among many pests of bee colonies, Vespa orientalis was recorded to be one of the most destructive.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to: (1) monitor the presence of pathogens carried by V. orientalis that could potentially threaten honey bees and public health; (2) describe the hornet's predatory behavior on honey bee colonies and (3) collect the medical history of a V. orientalis sting suffered by a 36‐year‐old woman.MethodsObservations of V. orientalis predatory behavior and the catches of hornets for parasitological and microbiological examination, using molecular and bacteriological analyses, were carried out in three experimental apiaries, both in spring in order to capture the foundress queens and during the summer to capture the workers. Furthermore, the medical history and photographic documentation of a V. orientalis sting suffered by a 36‐year‐old woman have been collected.ResultsThe results obtained highlight that V. orientalis is capable of causing serious damage to beekeeping by killing bees, putting under stress the honey bee colonies and by potentially spreading honey bee pathogens among apiaries. These hornets may also become a public health concern, since they are capable of inflicting multiple, painful stings on humans.ConclusionsOnly the development of an Integrated Management Control Program will be able to contain the negative effects of anomalous population growth and the potentially negative impact on honey bees and public health of V. orientalis.
