Interesting to see wasps and bees feeding together.  I bring supers home on
my trailer and there are, inevitably, spots of honey left on it after I have
moved the supers into the honey house.  These are rapidly cleared by bees
and wasps of course, but I noted on several occasions this year that bees
and wasps never seemed to feed from the same spot of honey - some spots
would have all bees, some all wasps.
