Yellow Jacket Scavenger

I spied this Yellow Jacket Wasp enjoying a piece of honeybee.  The yellow jacket likes sweet treats but they are meat eaters.  These wasps can be a plague to beekeepers and often harass hives.  They are usually not a real threat to the colony unless it is weak and doesn't contain enough worker guards to keep them out of the hive.
