hornet pt 2

whilst out gathering figs this evening loads of our bees were on the base of the figs taking the sugary liquid that seeps out. hornets were out too picking them off one at a time.

Nice little video clip that says it all and let's face it, everything has to eat and in this case feed "the young".
