What Time of Year Do Wasps Die?
WouterDuring winter, the majority of wasps die off. The food resources that were available to them during the summer and fall are no longer sufficient to support the needs of the colony. This means that the resources that are left for caring for the eggs are reduced.
The main purpose of any wasp colony is to keep its queen alive. When the weather begins to warm up, the queen wasp begins to look for a suitable nest. She will lay eggs to prepare for hibernation. As autumn approaches, the nest will begin to decay. The queen wasp then begins to build a new nest. The nest is made from chewed up wood fibers mixed with saliva.
The nest is eventually destroyed. The queen wasp and other adult workers die off. The remaining workers are left to fend for themselves. The only remaining wasp that will lay eggs is the queen. These eggs are fertile, but the queen has to find enough food to survive.
The queen is the only wasp that will lay eggs in the nest. This is to produce the next generation of wasps. The queen will lay 100 to 150 eggs per day. She will also produce drones. These will help to mate with other queens to create new colonies.
During the summer and fall, the worker wasps are a lot more active than they are in the winter. They are also more likely to come into contact with humans. They are also more aggressive as they search for food. They prefer to eat fallen fruit over ripe fruit. They will also ingest fermenting juices from fruit, which contributes to their aggressive behavior.
