The European beewolf is a solitary wasp, not a bee. It lives across Europe, North Africa and parts of Africa. The female hunts honey bees to feed her young, which is why it is named after them.1

Leef in

Western Palearctic and Afrotropics, from Scandinavia to South Africa1

Europa, Afrika

Tuis

It is found mainly on open sandy ground, such as lowland heathland and coastal dunes. It is less often found on clay, and in Britain it has dug burrows in coal dust, ash and coal mining spoil heaps.1

Lengte

1,6 cm (0,6 in)3

tipiese grootte van 'n volwasse dier

Topspoed

omtrent 25 km/h (16 mph)

Vlieënd, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

Adults feed on nectar from flowers such as bramble, sea-holly, heather, thrift and common ragwort. Females hunt western honey bees to provide food for their larvae, and may collect up to 100 bees during their flight period.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Bold yellow and black markings on the abdomen1
Males have trident-shaped markings between their bluish eyes1
Females are larger, with a reddish stripe behind the eyes and a pale face1

Gifkrag

Steke

Gif kom deur 'n angel uit.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

The female stings its bee prey to paralyse them, so they stay alive but cannot move. The paralysed bees are stored in the nest as food for the larvae.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

As dit steek

Skraap 'n byangel uit en koel die plek af.
As die persoon sukkel om asem te haal, die gesig of keel swel, of hy voel flou, is dit 'n allergiese noodgeval: bel jou noodnommer en gebruik sy adrenalienpen (outo-inspuiter) as hy een het.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Females protect their young from mould by applying a secretion to the bees, and the egg releases nitric oxide that kills growing fungi.1

Females also secrete a substance containing Streptomyces bacteria, which protect the larva's cocoon from fungal infection.1

The female hunts honey bees, and the species is apparently the only one in its genus that specialises in western honey bees.1

Nests can form large groups, with as many as 15,000 burrows in one aggregation.1

Niko Tinbergen's experiments showed that the wasp identifies its nest by sight.1

In Britain it was once considered one of the great rarities among stinging wasps, but its range has expanded northwards as summers have grown warmer.1
