Meat Eating Bees!

by @ 7:00 am. *** ***

Filed under Nature

I was eating a lunch under a tree Tuesday and there was some cold turkey breast on my plate.  While I was securely covering my Coke can so that a bee could not get into that, the yellow jackets that were out, seemed more interested in the food on the plate.  One landed on my meat and when I took out the camera to take some close-ups, I noticed that he was not eating the meat or drinking the juices – he was cutting off a small chunk of the turkey and then flew off with it!

This is a yellow jacket – really not a bee, I think, but a version of swarming wasp.

The contemplation of the works of the Creator, is the highest delight of the rational mind. In them we read, as in a volume fraught with endless wonder, the power and the glory of that Being, who, in the formation of atoms and of worlds alike, has displayed unfathomable wisdom.
