Bugs and the bees


Today I found a dead bald-faced hornet, a piece of another dead bald-faced hornet (look to the upper right of the full body and you'll see a body part), a blurry yellow jacket and several ants all around the bee hives.

Within a few moments while I watched another bald-faced hornet was attempting to enter the hives - amazing that the hornet is not deterred by the death of the others.

The ants don't seem interested in the hive, but rather are focused on pieces of pine tree that have fallen on the deck in the recent rain.
