The Norwegian wasp (Dolichovespula norwegica) is a species of eusocial wasp. It is common in Scandinavia and can also be found in Scotland and other areas in Britain and Ireland. Often known for being a tree wasp, it nests in low branches and bushes and feeds on insects. It also obtains nectar from blueberry and snowberry flowers.[1] Although D. norwegica is rarely considered a pest in the past, a few cases of pest problems relating to them have been reported.[2] The species is not endangered.[3]
