Bruce Whittington sent some photographs of a wasp and a bee from Ladysmith. Although they are not strictly recent photographs, they will maybe nevertheless interest viewers. The first shows a European Paper Wasp apparently biting into the base of a Cuphea flower to reach some nectar or pollen. The second shows a Honey Bee that may not be trying to do exactly the same thing itself, but may be trying to take advantage of a hole previously bitten into by the wasp.
