Related: About this forumWasp makes life uncomfortable for the bees
I was out photographing flowers and this one plant was swarming with bees when I noticed this wasp. It spent quite a bit of time doing whatever it was doing. If a bee landed near it, they would sort of acknowledge each other and then the bee would fly off. I was expecting some sort of fight but it never happened.

And how lucky you were to see first hand the exchange between bees and wasps.

It spent most of it's time on the one blossom.
