First, how do wasps spend the winter

At the end of September and the beginning of October, wasps begin to leave their old hives and migrate to suitable places for the winter. Since October, queens of various wild wasps begin to mate one after another. The drones that mate with the queen bee will die soon, while the queen bee will move its bloated body and begin to look for caves in the soil, stones and trees, where they will live through the winter, and the colder the temperature, the more tightly they will huddle together. After natural elimination, the wild wasp queen who survived the winter awakened in April next year, and they climbed out of the cave and began to look for suitable nesting sites.

Hu Feng's sociality is very low, far less than ants, when it comes to winter, the colony naturally disintegrates. In the spring of the following year, the Hu Summit, which survived the winter, reformed the family, and multiple females built nests together and laid eggs in the nest room. At the same time, these females fight each other for the highest level. When the dominant society is established, one female bee of the highest level monopolizes the right to lay eggs. If the other female bees do not fly away, they can only be in a subordinate position, and their eggs can even be eaten by the highest level female bees.
