The wasps are probably trying to rob the honey from the beehive and the bees are trying to defend the hive.
Bees and Wasps.
Primarily, wasps are attracted to the honey inside the hive. However wasps will also go for lone or weak bees for food. Wasps may also go directly after the brood (bee larvae) in a bee hive.
Wasps Bees and Hornets
A nesting and breeding place for bees and wasps.
Well, wasps don't colect pollen bees do, wasps collect wood to make a hive at least that's what my friend said.
You trace wasps back to their nest (not hive, that's only for bees) by watching which way they go after they have finished eating. Give them something to eat, like honeycomb, and there will be lots to follow.
Wasps can symbolized unchecked aggression. The wasp is a seemingly angry, fearful creature that viciously defends itself and the hive at all costs.
Honey bees are kept in hives by beekeepers.
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 return to their hive typically at sunset. However, many people have the misconception that wasps sleep at this time. Certain bees are awake even during evening hours to ensure the hive is safe. You should use care whenever you are trying to eradicate a beehive.
In the open bees and wasps will tend to ignore each other, but if a wasp tries to enter a bee hive and does not immediately back out, the guard bees will probably sting it to death. A concerted attack on a bee hive by a large number of wasps in order to get to the honey stores may succeed and many bees and wasps will die in the resulting fight.
Bees can fly from the hive any time in daylight, provided it is warm enough. They really want the air temperature to be higher than about 14 degrees C to stay away from the hive for any period of time.
