is an invasive species that exhibits flexible social behavior, which may have contributed to its introduction in several European countries. It is important to understand its behavior in order to combat the effects of its introduction in different areas. This implies knowing the resources that it uses during its biological cycle. Hornets require protein resources taken from insects and organic matter as well as carbohydrates as an energy source to fly and also to forage for food and nest-building materials. The gastrointestinal tract of adults and larvae contains a wide variety of pollen types. The identification of this pollen in larvae collected from nests could offer information about the plant species that visits as a foraging place. The main objective of this research was to study the pollen content in the gastrointestinal tract of larvae. Patterns of pollen content and pollen diversity were established according to the nest type, altitude, season, and location in the nest comb. The abundance of pollen types such as , , , , , or pollen type stands out in many of the samples.
是一种具有灵活社会行为的入侵物种，这可能促使其在几个欧洲国家被引入。了解其行为对于对抗其在不同地区引入所产生的影响很重要。这意味着要知道它在生物周期中所利用的资源。黄蜂需要从昆虫和有机物质中获取蛋白质资源以及碳水化合物作为飞行的能量来源，同时也用于觅食和获取筑巢材料。成虫和幼虫的胃肠道含有多种花粉类型。从巢穴收集的幼虫中这种花粉的鉴定可以提供有关其作为觅食地所光顾的植物物种的信息。本研究的主要目的是研究幼虫胃肠道中的花粉含量。根据巢穴类型、海拔、季节以及巢脾中的位置确定了花粉含量模式和花粉多样性。在许多样本中，诸如 、 、 、 、 、 或 花粉类型等花粉类型的丰度较为突出。
