ZA_Survivalist. I have a question for you, every other year or so, we have a tree that produces a pollen, or pitch that attracts Aphids. Along come the bald face and they seem to be eating a liquid that the Aphid produce when touched, which the bald faced do with great, glee and the results appear to be some apparently very drunk hornets.
When they're in this state they can't fly, and the only time they get aggressive is when they run into each other on the same branch and there isn't enough room to pass each other, it becomes a wrestling match until one, or both fall to the ground from the branch. At times the ground is crawling with "drunk"?? hornets.
You can literally walk among and even touch them without provoking an attack, they seem to be very happy drunks. It's the strangest damn thing. Any ideas as to what is occurring here?
