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.

What do wasps eat?

Community Answer 1Adult paper wasps either drink nectar or catch caterpillars and drink the caterpillar's blood, or hemolymph. Then the adult wasp flies back to the nest and regurgitates (throws up) the nectar or blood into the mouths of young (larval) wasps or other adult wasps. After the young wasps are full, they produce a saliva (or spit) which is fifty times more nutritious than nectar. The adult wasps drink this saliva from the mouths of the young wasps.____________________________________________________________Community Answer 2Wasps eat other living bugs like, ants, flies and caterpillars, if their able to catch with fast reflexes they will eat butterflies. They will also make honey with pollen and they will eat the honey afterwards.
