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.
Yes, some wasps make honey, like the Polistine wasp, but the honey is not supposed to be consumed by humans. Study have proven it to be toxic to us.
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.
Wasps, Honey Bees, and Killer Bees are all relatives of the Yellow Jacket.
Bees and wasps do have a similar appearance. Bees are rounder, wasps are leaner. Wasps are covered in a smooth almost shiny exoskeleton. Bees on the other hand are covered in a layer of fuzz, this has to do with the feeding mechanism as wasps are predominantly carnivorous while bees feed on nectar.
Beekeepers keep their honey producing bees in a beehive.
I would say a gnat is the lightest, The goliath beetle is the heaviest, and bees and wasps eat honey and nectar.
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.
Wasps are not mammals they are insects like bees and flies.
