Well envisioned Dan; I'll add this from my imagined memory_!

When I first read this, it was as a misreading, which is no bad thing. I loved that version, and I love what is presumably the correct reading of the author's intention.
I'm probably more of a fan of bees, whether Solitary Bees or Buff-Tailed Bees (they took over the Blue Titmouse bird box earlier this year).
After all we are al animals, even the insects can be lumped into that larger group, and communal eating is always sociable, isn't it?
Delightful haiku!

I enjoyed the playfulness in this one.

Thank you, Barbara! I like your ku as well.
There's always enough to share, Dan – even with a wasp! Nice one. :)

I thinks you have to add some more things of this beautiful nature.
