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

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

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

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

Fatgs

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

The female lays an egg in an underground brood cell with several paralysed bees as food for the larva, and in cooler regions the larva overwinters.1
