On November 4, a single yellow jacket found it’s way into the hive. Chaos ensued!!
The Queen is in the upper portion of the shot, the yellow jacket is on the frame below her.
Attempting to slay the invader!
After hours of combat, the sun set and the hive was still a den of chaos. On a normal day, about 3 to 5 bees show up dead at the bottom of the hive. The following morning:
Carnage!! 52 dead bees in one night! But the yellow jacket is gone! Peace has returned to the hive.
