Another sap-lover: Western Yellowjacket

I photographed this Western Yellowjacket yesterday in Lion's Park in little Florence, CO as it and a number of other wasps feasted on/at some of the fresh sap wells drilled by the sapsucker(s) working the pine trees here. I have read that this species of wasp does not overwinter (except the queen)so these workers are time-limited. Also read that Western Yellowjackets are responsible for 90% of the stings reported in Colorado-glad these guys were busy sipping sap. SeEtta
