[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 3887, member: 13"] Winter nearly upon us and food supply for wasp colonies is not what it used to be. So they hang around beehives looking for a meal, but as they run out of energy the bees find it easier and easier to exclude them from the hives. So we have wasps with no energy left walking around near the hives cos they can no longer fly. Then we have other wasps also pretty desperate, spot the weak ones so chop them up and carry them off for a meal. Cannibals eating their own flatmates :oops: [MEDIA=youtube]DoTzTnWD07I[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
