Pisi-mesilasenäpi lemmiktoiduks on tõepoolest mesilased, kuid ära ei ütle ta ka herilastest ja vapsikutest. Jahitehnika on sarnane teiste mesilasnäppidega - algpositsioon on oksal istudel, saagi lähenedes sööstab ta vigurlende tehes putukani, napsab ta kinni ning naaseb samale oksale. Seejärel virutab ta astla eemaldamiseks mutukat korduvalt vastu kõva pinda ja alles siis saab maiustama hakata. iSimangaliso märgala kaitseala, LAV.
The favorite food of a Little Bee-eater, as the name suggests, is a bee but it does not say no to wasps or hornets. The hunting technique is similar to other bee-eaters - the insects are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch. Before eating its meal, a bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface. iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa.
