The Wasp's usually rule even small ones seem to chase off the Hummers, not that they don't try to keep the feeder for only one.

OK Corral re-visited! Great capture/composition! Have captured a couple of shots w/ what I call sweat bees in them(1 of which nailed me yesterday), but both were very soft. Very well done, Bret!
