Window Bee Bob

Yellow Jacket Hornet Wasp

Mother nature at work: Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Window Bee Bob!
Early one morning Bee Bob landed on our kitchen window and stayed long enough for this striking portrait. A great looker with big black eyes, spiked gelled hair, groovy arms, clingy legs and two long antennas on it's head. It's really apparent where they get costume ideas for the Star Wars Trilogies!
Actually, Bob is a Yellow Jacket Hornet wasp, not a bee, and he plays an important role to control pest insects in your garden. As spring arrives, the pregnant Queen wasp will awaken from her winter hibernation to build a new colony of workers. Similar to our pesky mosquitoes only the females will sting you while the male is off drinking nectar! Go figure! (Go Sens Go!)
