Bees, Wasps and Ants
The Hymenoptera are another group very much under-recorded not only for Epping
Forest but in the county of Essex as a whole. They are the largest order of British insects,
though the majority of species are found in just one group, the Parasitica, which are
mostly small to minute insects such as those found in the super-family Chalcidoidea
(with over 1,500 species in Britain alone) whose taxonomy is therefore very difficult. I
have restricted my recording to the Aculeata which includes the familiar bees and wasps.
The only historical record I can find is of the hornet (Vespa crabro) which was noted
nesting in Lords Bushes in the 1940s (69).
The burnt and disturbed area has been readily colonised by many species of bee and
wasp. I have found the nest of the common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) in the decaying
