The last year of opperation for this beautiful garden. Chilliwack, BC Canada.

This is a wasp drinking nectar from my Mint garden. I guess he has a date later and he thinks he'll get lucky! LOL ..
This is a old picture I took. I did upload a different copy and I had few other angle of this guy drinking Mint for that Minty Fresh breath ... :)
Wasp eats Bees! Usually they are after those Bee hives where they can gorge on those Larvae, so they traps bees by waiting for them at location (e.g. Flowers) and put some sort of faramon on the bee which acts as radar detector for the Wasp to locate the hive .. .now isn't that clever? So I assume this guy was just faking it, and waiting for a poor bee who will bring doom for the colony!
