Where Do Wasps Go in the Winter in Canada?
WouterUnlike other insects, wasps are not usually known to live in winter. The life cycle of wasps is very interesting. A queen wasp lives in a nest, and the nest is made out of cells that are made of paper-like material. The queen wasp then lays eggs in the nest cells, and the larvae grow into adult wasps.
In spring and summer, the queen wasp is fed by male wasps. The male wasps take food back to the nest. After mating, the male wasps die.
The queen wasp hibernates during the winter. After the winter, she comes out and builds a new nest. In early spring, the queen wasp lays eggs. These eggs are the new queens for the next year. The queen wasp then spends the rest of her life in her nest as an egg-laying machine.
The queen wasp enters the nest through a crack in a home. She will lay her eggs, and the young wasps will continue to build the nest. When the weather gets warm, the queen wasp starts scouting for a new colony site. The colony’s location and size determine the queen’s survival. The nest size may be large enough to hold up to 10,000 wasps by the end of summer.
There are over 500 different species of wasps in Canada. These wasps include social and solitary wasps. The social wasps are the most common stinging menace in Canadian cities. They build nests in wood sheds, guttering, and underground. They can be found in rural areas, but are commonly seen in urban areas.
