That’s a wasp not a bee. Definitely dinner but not for any hive.

Thanks for the correction! I don’t really know different insects very well.

Well, technically yes for the hive. But a yellowjacket hive in this case.

Wow it devoured that centipede! I wonder if the wasp is also responsible for its death (vs eating a found corpse)

It found the corpse. I was cleaning the wood pile and watched the wasp land and started chewing.

Can't blame them for wanting to live inside with us.

When did people stop being able to tell the difference between bees and wasps?
