胡蜂属的黄蜂和蜜蜂是共同进化军备竞赛的主要特征，这一点可以从捕食者和猎物进化出的明显数量的相互适应中得到证明。通过这个古老的过程，掠夺性大黄蜂和蜜蜂似乎达到了一种脆弱的平衡，当外来大黄蜂物种意外引入新的地理区域时，这种平衡就会消失。近几十年来入侵欧洲和北美的亚洲大黄蜂物种，如Vespa velutina和Vespa corpinia，对西方蜜蜂和商业养蜂业产生了严重影响。在这里，我们对世界各地黄蜂和蜜蜂之间相互作用的现有研究进行了全面回顾，强调了亚洲蜜蜂及其同域捕食者采取的专门策略的复杂性，以及相对缺乏协同进化和有效的防御。西方蜜蜂对入侵大黄蜂的防御。黄蜂和蜜蜂有着悠久的共同进化历史，导致了捕食者和猎物之间大量迷人的适应和反适应。从简单的生理机制到复杂的行为策略，一些胡蜂专门猎杀蜜蜂，而后者则采取了有效的防御措施来抵御它们的攻击。黄蜂和蜜蜂都进化出了探测气味和对方散发的信息素的能力，以定位猎物或发现觅食的捕食者。大黄蜂通常依靠其更大的体型，重装甲的身体和破坏性的攻击，而蜜蜂则有区别的集体防御反应，精心协调，以阻止或杀死大黄蜂的威胁。然而，当新物种的黄蜂和蜜蜂接触时，缺乏共同进化可能会对手无寸铁的蜜蜂产生严重影响。黄蜂和蜜蜂之间的进化军备竞赛不仅提供了捕食者和猎物之间适应和反适应的令人信服的例子，而且也可以成为制定有效和可持续战略的起点，以保护蜜蜂和养蜂活动，并控制入侵的外来黄蜂物种。
Hornets of the genus Vespa and honey bees are the main characters of a coevolutionary arms race that is made evident by the conspicuous number of reciprocal adaptations evolved by both predator and prey. Through this ancient process predatory hornets and honey bees seem to have reached a fragile balance, which is lost when alien hornet species are accidentally introduced into new geographic areas. This is the case of Asian hornet species, such as Vespa velutina and Vespa mandarinia, which have invaded Europe and North America in recent decades, with a heavy impact on Western honey bees and commercial beekeeping. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the existing studies that have investigated the interactions between hornets and honey bees throughout the world, highlighting the complexity of the specialized strategies adopted by Asian honey bees and their sympatric predators and the relative lack of coevolution and effective defenses of Western honey bees against invasive hornets. Hornets and honey bees have a long history of coevolution resulting in a plethora of captivating adaptations and counteradaptations between predator and prey. From simple physiological mechanisms to complex behavioral strategies, some Vespa hornets have specialized in hunting honey bees, while the latter have put in place effective defenses to counteract their attack. Both hornets and honey bees have evolved the ability to detect the odors and the pheromones emitted by the other to locate the prey or to spot foraging predators. Hornets often rely on their bigger size, heavily armored body and destructive attacks, while honey bees differentiated collective defense responses finely coordinated to deter or kill the hornet menace. However, when new species of hornets and honey bees come into contact, the absence of coevolution can have a heavy impact on the defenseless bees. The evolutionary arms race between hornets and honey bees provides not only compelling examples of adaptations and counteradaptations between predator and prey, but could also represent a starting point for the development of effective and sustainable strategies to protect honey bees and beekeeping activities and to control invasive alien species of hornets.
