As we end another summer wasps are on their last push for anything sugar, be it ripe fruit in trees to pop cans on the deck. As the queen ends her reign, she produces more queen that fly off to find an acceptable location to hibernate and start a new nest the following year. Old nests will never be reused as they know that parasites maybe present. All the female worker will soon begin to die-off. When the temperature goes below 11 degrees Celsius, it’s too cold for them to physically move around. Next spring, the new queen will search for food be it other insects, and start laying eggs. Those eggs will be the workers that do everything except lay eggs.
