The Social Insects Web (SIWeb) - English
URL: http://research.amnh.org/entomology/social_insects/

shown in filters: Ricerca in Internet

SIWeb will be providing answers to questions such as on the identification of social insects, on the knowledge of a particular taxon (e.g. species, genus) or on what's known about a particular geographic area. Although it is basically a scientific instrument, access for a wider audience such as the casual browser or somebody going out for some education will be developed as well.

Paper wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are a potential health threat to Kentuckians. Hundreds (perhaps thousands) of people in the United States die each year from allergic reactions to the venom of these insects. Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets are more dangerous and unpredictable than honey bees and should be treated with respect; nests should be eliminated with great care and in a specific manner.

Apart from some Bark or Ambrosia Beetles (Scolytidae) recently found in Australia and the Termites (Isoptera) all the known Social Insects are Hymenopterans. These are the Ants (Formicidae), the Honey and Bumble Bees (Apidae), as well as some other Bees such as some (Halictidae) and (Anthophoridae) and the Wasps [(Vespidae) including the Yellow Jackets of America and the Common Wasps of Europe.

Bees and Wasps - English
URL: http://www.greensmiths.com/bees.htm

The insects most beneficial to humans are found in the large insect order Hymenoptera. Not only are the bees and many of their relatives pollinators of flowering plants, including fruits and vegetables, but thousands of species of small wasps are parasites of other arthropods including pest insects. Without these parasites that limit the growth of insect populations, pests would overtake most crops. Anatomy, short review.
