摘      要：Biological invasions around the world have experi­enced an unprecedented increase over the past few de­cades as a result of global change,worldwide trade and human mobility(Mack et al.2000).Invasive species have serious ecological and economic impacts across the *** the areas with high levels of inva­sion,Europe faces the greatest biological invasion(van Kleunen et al.2015).The European Union commis­sioned a report on invasive alien species to assess their ecological and economic ***,the Asian bee-hawking hornet Vespa velutina Lepeletier,1836 is in the line of fire in Europe(Rome&Villemant 2016).This hornet species is known as a serious predator of pollinators(such as honeybees),thus severely affecting insect pollination as well as apiculture in various Euro­pean countries(Villemant et al.2011).
