摘要： Simple Summary In recent years, with global warming and climate change, there have been many cases of successful hornet invasions in some areas. The successful invasion of hornets not only has an impact on local human security and economic activities, but also seriously threatens the bee ecosystem, which has attracted the attention of scientists. Therefore, taking some measures to suppress the foraging and expansion of hornets becomes an important subject. Compared with attractant trapping and poison baits, hornet-tracking technology, which tracks hornets to find their nests, is a more efficient and feasible method. This review paper discusses several common hornet-tracking methods, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of different methods, and provides a theoretical basis for the development of hornet-tracking technology.Abstract Hornet is a general term for insects of the genus Vespa (Hymenoptera: Vespidae). Hornets are predatory insects distributed worldwide. They often appear at apiaries in groups to prey on honey bees, and cause incalculable losses in the honey bee industry. In the face of hornet intrusion, tracking a homing hornet to find its nest is the most efficient way to discover and eliminate the hornets around an apiary. Here, five hornet-tracking methods (hornet tag tracking, triangulation, thermal imaging technology, harmonic radar, and radio telemetry) are reviewed. The advantages, disadvantages and feasibility of each method are discussed to improve the strategies for tracking hornets. Therefore, this review provides ideas for the development of hornet-tracking technology and for improving honey bee protection.
