Why are my sunflowers covered with wasps and hornets?

I harvested the heads already. The stalks and leaves I left behind have hundreds of yellow jackets, black wasps and odd wasps I cannot identify. They are just sitting there doing nothing.

    Wasps are predators. I don't know for sure, but maybe there is a nest of an insect they eat nearby, or they have a nest nearby and are protecting the queen. Hope that helps.
