Tiny wasps enter and exit hive entrance,z

Wasps have biting mouthparts and antennae with 12 or 13 segments. They are normally winged and have the abdomen attached to the thorax by a slender petiole, or “waist.” Females are provided with a formidable sting, which involves use of a modified ovipositor (egg-laying structure) for piercing and venom-producing glands. Adult wasps feed primarily on nectar, but their larvae feed on insects or plant material such as pollen, provided by the female parent. There are more than 20,000 known species of wasps
