nature vs. psycho killer
Of course it’s hard to tell without snow, but we’re heading into winter here in SF. I hope that’s why the bees aren’t so active, otherwise they may be dying off. This is a photo from the back yard taken a few months ago: yellow-jacket vs. honey bee. The honey bee in this case is a drone (male) who had his legs chewed off so he couldn’t fight back, then the yellow jacket bit his head off and flew away with the body to feed to it’s young.
In other news, they discovered water on the moon. It won’t be long before we open a bar up there.
You should stake a yellow-jacket head on a toothpick and stick it in the ground next to your hive (Lord of the Flies style) to ward off any more attacks.
