This technology has been continuously developed since its advent and has now become one of the important methods for field research in entomology. It is widely used in biodiversity surveys of Hymenoptera, research on the biological characteristics of new Hymenoptera species, collection of available wild bee populations in the wild, collection and release of wild wasp populations that have a certain predatory effect on crop pests, and collection and release of wild bee populations that are beneficial to the pollination of economic crops.
