Behavior
Adult wasps spend most of their time preparing their nests and foraging for food for their young. Wasps are divided into two subgroups: social and solitary. Social wasps account for only about a thousand species and include formidable colony-builders. Social wasp colonies are started from scratch each spring by a queen who was fertilized the previous year and survived the winter by hibernating in a warm place.
