While the antennae of the drones comprises 13 segments, those of the females have only 12 segments. The eyes of the hornet are clearly visible and appear in the shape of a "C". The thorax and abdomen of european hornets are hairy. The upper surface of the chest (thorax...
...oloured in the middle, while the subspecies Vespa crabro germana have a narrow red marking shaped like a "V" on their Mesoscutum. The abdomen has the typical black-brown/yellow colouration of wasps, and comprises 7 segments in the drones, 6 segments in the females. which besides is fitted with with 2 numbers of similar dripped designs, The females have a poisonous sting at the end of their abdomens; the drones lack this sting but have, in its place, sex organs. The wings of the european hornet are reddish-orange in colour. A characteristic feature of this insect (apart from the body size) is the deep humming tone produced when flying. | | |
| | Vespinae living in colonies build nests in dark caves, trees, hedges or attics. A single state with a queen, workers and drones can comprise up to 7000 insects. Labour is organised - the Queen only lays eggs while the workers are responsible for nest building , nest cleaning, food procurement and feeding the larvae, and the drones are responsible for the fertilization of young queens. To avoid inbreeding, some drones leave the nest and look for females from other populations.
While the old queens usually die in the autumn the young fertilized queens seek safe homes. With the cold of coming winter huge numbers of worker wasps die from starvation and as a resu... | | |
| | | The Western honey bee is a social insect. The queens reach a body length of 15 to 18 mm, the drones, 13 to 16 mm and the workers, 11 to 13 mm. The drones have larger compound eyes than the workers. Workers can in principle also lay eggs, but are usually prevented by a chemical messenger - a substance excreted by the queen. | | |
| | A colony of bumblebees can consist of up to 600 insects with a queen. The majority of bumblebees are workers who live beside the male drones and young queens. In Europe bumblebees survive only one summer. Drones and workers have a life expectancy of 3 to 4 weeks, while a queen lives for approximately 1 year, during which time it hibernates for 8 months. There are, among bumblebees, socially parasitic species (Cuckoo bumblebees) which leave their eggs in the... | | |

They themselves feed on tree sap , plant juices, nectar, fruits or honeydew. In autumn the young queens and drones hatch. In late September or early October the drones start fightings between themselves in order to fertilize the young queens. While the fertilized queens find hiding places to overwinter , the remainder of the population dies with the first night frosts. | | |
| | The queen bee is 15 to 23 mm in length, while the, workers and drones are approximately 8 to 21 mm. Bumblebees have a strong rounded body, comprising head, thorax and abdomen. They are protected from the cold by hair which is mostly yellow, white or black in color. The colouring of the bumblebee varies from type to... | | |
| | Bombus pascuorum | | Bombus pascuorum is a very common bumblebee. It is one of the colony building insects. The head, chest and back are brown in colour with the abdomen of some insects being bright or dark. The queens reach a body length of up to 22 mm, and the drones, up to 18 mm while the workers are considerably smaller. The Bombus pascuorum can be found in meadows and clover fields, but also in walls and buildings. It feeds on nectar and pollen, preferring the flowers of fruit trees, large-flowered hemp-net... | | |
| | Saxon Wasp - Dolichovespula saxonica | | The Saxon Wasp - Dolichovespula saxonica is a species of the genus Yellowjacket. It is a colony building insect. The queens reach body lengths of 15 to 19 mm, the workers 11 to 15 mm and the drones, 13 to 15 mm. The colony can comprise 200 to 300 animals. The wasp has markings on its head which look like a crown? It is found in open countryside and wooded hills, in breeding boxes for birds, hedges or buildings.

| | Queens are up to 20 mm in length, drones 13 to 17 mm , and workers 11 to 14 mm. These wasps are black and yellow in colour and their markings vary hugely. At the neck shield, the common wasp has a wide black line that gets thicker on its end. | | |
| | The queens are 16 to 18 mm in length, the drones 12 to 14 mm, and the workers 10 to 15 mm. The body of the Bombus sylvarum is hairy and yellow, brown and orange in colour. The colour contrasts are weaker than in other bumblebee species. Bombus sylvarum have a long head and a strikingly long ... | | |
