"Honeybees don't hunt caterpillars, but Tautz says he was out
walking his dog one day, listening to the buzz of bees, when it
occurred to him that, to a caterpillar, bees’ wing beats might
sound similar to wasps’."

A snippet from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee

Evolution
Bees, like ants, are a specialized form of wasp. The ancestors of
bees were wasps in the family Crabronidae, and therefore predators
of other insects.

...so, it makes sense. I wonder if insects "hear" of feel the
vibrations of the bees' wing-currents on the vegetation...

Bees visit soy? (There's a joke in there somewhere, about them
being predominately girls, LOL! ...er, Ahem...)
