## Caption

Aptly named, #BeeEaters pluck bees (and other flying insects) out of the air with their strong, downward curved beak, smack the victim’s head on a branch to stun it, rub its rump on a surface to remove the stinger and flush out the toxins, and chow down. 📷: Ian Gill #FeatheredFriday #birdstagram #SanDiegoZoo
