We work on a hornet species which predates honeybees. These hornets (the workers) fly for long distances (over few km) several times a day predate bees in front hives and their nests are often located in the top of big tree foliage.

Nests are almost impossible to detect before September/October and these hornets are very agressive home.

To hunsderstand their hunting territory size, but also to locate the nests for management purposes individual tracking could represent an interesting option.
