The other day after I fed the cows I stood and watched them eat.  As I was 
looking a yellow jack bee landed on the top wire right in front of me, it was 
holding a fly.  In front of my eyes I watched the bee bite off the flies 
wings and legs, then eat the head, with the appendages dispatched and the 
head gone the bee flew off.  All summer I saw the yellow jackets hovering 
around the cows feet where the flies like to chew.  The flies would get 
caught up in the long hairs of the Scottish Highlander cows and become bee 
food.  This is a very beneficial  relationship.  Has anyone else seen this 
phenomenon???...sstorch
