Are there wasps in the hornet's nest in winter?

There are no wasps in the hornet's nest in winter. When the weather is cold, fertilized female bees will leave the hive one after another, looking for shelter from the wind, such as cracks in the wall, haystacks, etc., for wintering.

The next spring, the surviving females will go out to find a suitable place to nest and lay eggs.

Hornet, scientific name "wasp", also known as "ant bee" or "wasp". In addition to bees and ants, the suborder Hymenoptera (formerly known as the suborder Hymenoptera) also has stinging insects, which are large and poisonous. It is a widely distributed, diverse and fast-flying insect. It belongs to HYMENOPTERA Vespidae, and the female bees have powerful long spines. When they encounter attacks or unfriendly interference, they will attack them in groups, which can cause allergic reactions and poisoning reactions, and even lead to death in serious cases. Hornets usually use soaked wood pulp similar to pulp to build their nests and feed on animal or plant food.
