A bee defending its hive and its (offspring?) from weaver ants. To my surprise, the weaver ants gave up after a few hours.
3/4" hole at a mango tree branch.
@mrsPbio the bee inside was really tough too. It was using its abdomen to block the entrance and made high pitch sounds from its wings to frighten the ants outside. I was frightened too. haha
Thank you, Ornithopera80! There is a slight difference in color. Will that suggest a different sub-species?
