Watch this Beewolf or Bee-killing Wasp (Philanthus loeflingi) catch a honeybee (Apis sp.)

Watch this super hunter Beewolf Wasp, or otherwise known as a Bee-killing Wasp (Philanthus loeflingi), grab a honeybee and then take ages to inject the venom to completely paralyze it so that she can carry it back to her burrow, where she will leave one bee in each cell for her larvae to feed on when they hatch. Her burrow often consists of various cells that lead off the main burrow. .
