Our Bees are Washboarding!

basically, Washboarding means that they are licking the hive clean.. that s what their back and forth, up and down movement is.. they are literally licking their landing board and hive exterior clean. This is a hygienic display.

Honeybees vs. Yellow Jackets

This is a Honey Bee.
It  lives in a hive and is a female field Bee.
It  gatheres netcar and pollen form plants
and brings them back to the hive
 to assist in making honey.
It can only sting once and then it will die.

This is a Yellow Jacket.
 It is not a honey bee- it is a predatory WASP 

Vespula squalmosa

It also Stings.. and can sting REPEATEDLY!!!

but does not live in a hive , but in a nest, often on the ground.

They feed on fruits,  flower nectar, tree sap,  

and also other insects such as bees

 or even meats and fish! As such , 

they are the enemies of the honeybee.
