We know wasps and hornets often attack beehives and kill bees by the thousands, sometimes killing the hive if they get the queen.

But can or do they fully wipe out an entire colony? Like, full genocide mode, no survivors. I’m asking between native species of a same ecosystem, a colony of Apis mellifera will be exterminated in Asia by Vespa mandarina without human intervention
