How do wasps reproduce?

Wasps reproduce in the form of eggs. There is one egg in each nest, and there is a silk stalk fixed at the base, so that even if the nest is hung upside down, it will not fall, and the worker bee is responsible for feeding. When the body matures, it gradually changes from crystal clear to bright yellow, then seals a thin cocoon at the mouth of the hole and turns into a pupa, and then it breaks out after Eclosion into an adult. it only takes two to three weeks from egg to Eclosion.

What species are there in the hornet colony?

1. Queen Bee: after a period of activity and supplementary nutrition, the queen bee after overwintering looks for relatively sunny and sheltered places to build nests, lays the first generation eggs while building the nest, and is responsible for all the work such as resisting enemies, hunting food, feeding the first generation larvae, and so on.

2. Drones: drones are spawned and bred by uninseminated individuals in the second generation of female bees, which can mate with a small number of females in the same nest or different nests, or with the same generation or female generation, and die soon after mating.

3. Worker bees: worker bees are responsible for all the internal and field work of the colony. The first generation of adult bees are all workers working in the field. Except for a few female bees of the second generation who successfully mate into new queen bees and individual females that lay male eggs without mating, most of them are worker bees.

Second, how do wasps spend the winter?

In the colony of wasps, there are queen bees, professional bees (females) and drones. The queen bees were mated with drones after the autumn of the previous year. The drones died soon after mating, while the females stored their sperm in seminal vesicles. When the weather is getting cold, fertilized female bees leave their nests to look for wind shelters such as cracks in the walls and haystacks to huddle for the winter. The lower the temperature is, the tighter the clump is, the higher the temperature is, the looser the clump is, and the group begins to break up when the temperature is higher than 7 ℃. In the following spring, the surviving females went out in groups to find suitable places to build nests and lay eggs on their own. The fertilized eggs laid formed females and unfertilized eggs formed drones. With the increase of professional bees, the hive gradually expanded.
