Can Wasps Sting?

Usually, wasps sting in defense, when they are threatened. If you are allergic to the sting of a wasp, you may want to avoid being in contact with them, especially in the nest. The sting may cause a painful burning sensation on your skin. This may occur multiple times. You should seek medical attention if the symptoms continue to persist.

Wasps are natural predators of many insects. They can be found in parks and gardens. They can also enter your home through holes in the ground or chimneys. They hunt and take unwanted pests from gardens.

During the winter, queen wasps hibernate in places where they can protect themselves from freezing temperatures. In the spring, they will emerge from hibernation. When they are first released from hibernation, queen wasps will go looking for a nesting site. In early April, queen wasps will begin to lay eggs. The nest will be built in a hole or crack in the eaves or under tree bark. The nest will consist of several queens.

Queen wasps can be difficult to distinguish from some other species. They are generally larger than worker wasps, with a larger stinger. They also have wings that are wrapped around their body. The stinger is also pointier than that of a worker. It is also longer.

Queen wasps are a vital part of the ecosystem. They are great pollinators. They can be found in wooded areas, meadows, parks, and gardens.
