Honey Bee -
Apis mellifera
The Western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a species of honey bee. This species was introduced to China from early 20th century and has been raised widely around the country.
In the temperate zone, honey bees survive winter as a colony, and the queen begins egg laying in mid to late winter, to prepare for spring. This is most likely triggered by longer day length. She is the only fertile female, and deposits all the eggs from which the other bees are produced. Except a brief mating period when she may make several flights to mate with drones, or if she leaves in later life with a swarm to establish a new colony, the queen rarely leaves the hive after the larvae have become full grown bees. The queen deposits each egg in a cell prepared by the worker bees. The egg hatches into a small larva which is fed by nurse bees (worker bees who maintain the interior of the colony). After about a week, the larva is sealed up in its cell by the nurse bees and begins the pupal stage. After another week, it will emerge an adult bee.
Black Shield Wasp
- Vespa bicolor
Class: Insecta  Order: Hymenoptera  Suborder: Apocrita  Family: Vespidae  Subfamily: Vespinae  Genus:
Vespa
This is the smallest species of
Vespa
, and certainly one of the smallest in the world (perhaps the smallest). It is easily recognizable due to its bright yellow colour; it has a black triangular patch on the central part of the thorax, and the abdomen sometimes displays black stripes due to expansion when the wasp is eating. Queens are far larger than workers and reach 25mm or more; males average 19 to 23mm, and the largest workers reach 22mm. Most workers I find are in the range of 17 to 19mm, and some only 15mm.
Vespa bicolor
is one of the most common social wasps, along with species of
Parapolybia
. It can be found in a wide range of environments, and frequently appears near human dwellings.
Vespa bicolor
is not at all picky regarding its choice of prey. Workers of this species target small flying insects, and tend to hunt by site. They are also fond of human food, particularly meaty items, and frequently appear at barbecue sites. This is the only local hornet which seems to like collecting cooked meat. It can thus be a pest at barbecues and outdoor events. They apparently do not hurt people in their quest for food, and a small number can easily be chased away, but on occasions, when they appear in large numbers, it can be disastrous. They especially like the smell of barbequed meats and fish, as well as anything sweet. They also forage among garbage.
Lesser Banded Tiger Hornet -
Vespa affinis
Kingdom:
Animalia
Phylum:
Arthropoda
Class:
Insecta
Order:
Hymenoptera
Family:
Vespidae
Genus:
Vespa
Species:
V. affinis
This is a small to medium-sized hornet, with queens reaching 30mm, males 26mm and workers being an average of 22 to 25mm. There are several geographical forms or subspecies; the ones found in South China are generally mainly black, with the first two abdominal segments being a deep yellow, forming a conspicuous band. The sides of the head and thorax show some reddish brown. On the other hand, specimens from Southeast Asian regions such as Singapore are fully black, without reddish brown markings, and the abdominal band is a brilliant orange.
This species is widespread throughout Asia. It can frequently be seen foraging close to the ground in grassy areas, forest and wasteland. This species seems to prey heavily on flies which can be pests. It can frequently be found on the beach, staying near rotting mussels which smell bad and attract flies. Initially, I assumed they were taking the mussel meat to feed their larvae, but it turned out that they were simply creeping into the mussel shells and hiding there to ambush the flies! They also love the nectar from flowers of the coconut tree, and often, after drinking their fill, conveniently grab a honeybee from a nearby flower and head for home. Besides these, they will also attack any small insect they can overpower. They will also collect meat from freshly dead insects.
