This time of year we find an abundance of yellowjackets stalking our honey bees, and yesterday I found these little ladies giving this yellowjacket a hard time. The bees are "balling" the yellowjacket, killing it with heat from their vibrations. I was happy to see them fighting back, as the yellowjackets rob honey, eat bee brood, and they take down our bee-girls as they return home laden with nectar and pollen. You Go Girls!
