Fig. 3. — Forest cover in the Pacific Northwest with apiary distribution in Washington, Oregon, and Montana. Due to the Idaho Public Record Law, we were not permitted to obtain or display location of registered apiaries in the state. Vespa mandarinia prefers to colonize nests in ‘greenspaces.’ Considering the density of forest cover, particularly in the western portions of Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho, these regions may serve as suitable habitat for nest establishment. Note the apiary distribution in relation to areas of dense forest cover.
