I am in the S.F. bay area of California, and for the second year I daily
watch Bluejay(s?) sitting on or near one of my hives snapping bees right out
of the air and eating them - sometimes after rubbing the beak and bee on a
tree branch. The jay seems not at all bothered and makes many trips a day to
eat bees,and the bees don't seem to have gotten aggravated either.
