The wasps are probably trying to rob the honey from the beehive and the bees are trying to defend the hive.
herbivorous
Yes. Some hornets and some wasps do indeed make honey. However, the honey made by wasps is not consumed by humans.
Wasps, Honey Bees, and Killer Bees are all relatives of the Yellow Jacket.
When their natural food supplies dry up, wasps can be hungry enough to raid a honey bee hive in order to get to the honey stores. An individual wasp will easily be repelled by the guard bees, but a concerted attack by a large number of wasps can succeed in gaining entry and the result will be a lot of dead bees -- and dead wasps.
I would say a gnat is the lightest, The goliath beetle is the heaviest, and bees and wasps eat honey and nectar.
The closest in appearance to bees (bumble bees and honey bees) are the wasps and hornets, but their lifestyles are completely different.
Yellow jackets are wasps, and wasps do not produce honey. They do not forage for nectar and the larvae are carnivorous and feed off other insects.
Honey comes from Bees like Honey Bees.
Honey bees are insects in the family Hymenoptera. Other members of the family are the other varieties of bees (bumble bees, solitary bees, carder bees, stingless bees, and so on), wasps, ants, saw flies, and hover flies among others.
