（央视财经《财经调查》）虎头蜂，学名胡蜂，俗称马蜂、黄蜂，具有极强的攻击性，伤人甚至死亡的事件时有发生。我国不少地区都发布了加强虎头蜂危 害处置工作的通知，甚至明确禁止虎头蜂养殖。有消费者向《财经调查》栏目反映，网络平台上，一些商家以虎头蜂能治病为由，大肆兜售这种毒蜂，甚至 有人在大规模养殖这种毒蜂，以此牟利。 揭秘虎头蜂泡酒治病骗局 在一些销售虎头蜂的直播间里，虎头蜂被明码标价，以一只1元到2元的价格进行销售。直播间的主播不断强调，这些虎头蜂可以直接泡酒喝，也可以用于身 体涂抹。 私信或添加微信后，商家才告知了虎头蜂制品对许多疾病具有治疗功效。 记者在这些网络直播间选购了几瓶虎头蜂制作的所谓药酒，收货后发现，产品包装极为简陋，仅用简单的塑料瓶装盛，且瓶身上未标明产品名称、生产日 期、保质期和生产厂家等相关信息，毫无疑问，这属于"三无"产品。 记者以采购为由，来到了位于四川乐山犍为县的一家启缘胡蜂养殖场。这家养殖场的负责人张经理告诉记者，他的一些客户将虎头蜂泡的酒卖给消费者，都 是招揽生意的噱头，实际上并没有什么疗效。 张经理告诉记者，他们养殖虎头蜂最大的盈利点其实是卖蜂蛹，当地不少餐馆都把蜂蛹当作特色菜品来 ...
