How Can You Get Wasps in March?

During the fall and winter, the queen wasp hibernates inside the nest. The nest can be located in the attic or in a shed, and may or may not be in the home. The queen wasp will scout for a new nest site in the spring. The nest will then be populated with workers hatched from fertilized eggs.

The queen wasp is the leader of the colony. She builds the nest and feeds the larvae protein-rich food from insects. The worker wasps are infertile, but they take care of the nest. When the nest is empty, they are not able to feed the larvae.

In spring, the queen wasp will re-emerge from the overwintering spot and start building a new nest near the home. The nest will consist of chewed wood fibers mixed with saliva. It can grow to about 5,000 to 10,000 wasps.

A paper wasp colony is typically composed of several queens and many male and female worker wasps. The queen wasp builds the nest, and the worker wasps help her to care for the nest. She builds the nest from the pulp of wood fibers. The queen then lays eggs one by one into the nest cells.

As the temperatures start to fall, the queen wasp becomes less active and her diet changes to keep the larvae alive. The drones are able to take the food back to the nest, and the queen is able to focus on building the hive.
