Yellow Jackets in the Grape 🍇 Jelly (1 Viewer)

I usually refill my jelly glasses in the evening.
Their are always several dead Yellow Jackets in each glass.
Yesterday I didn't refill it until this morning.
The glasses were completely empty.
Do you think the Orioles are eating the dead Yellow Jackets?

Well, they do eat insects so they definitely might be. And the jelly might make them taste better. 😂

Yep, those glasses pictured above are as clean as they were this morning when I refilled them. The Orioles are realy nice birds , they seem to get along with other birds just fine.
Now, I have seen flying squirells on my seed bird feeder a couple of times. But I don't think they are getting the jelly. Maybe I'll install a camera. I did see an Opossum last night. He was a very young one. I am pretty sure he would be unable to climb the string without dropping the glasses. It's about 30 ft high.

I agree with Lisa!
