The nesting place will vary in its positioning and although there are many genus' of wasps, their genus will not bind them to a particular location. Favourite positions are in the ground, in roof voids, in wall cavities, hollow trees and hanging in trees or bushes. The wasp season starts the year in April. A fertilised Queen wasp will come out from hibernation and will find herself a suitable nesting place. Wasps are beneficial insects, they are part of a well balanced ecosystem. They will feed upon other insects that we regard as pests such as flies, aphids and caterpillars. "Why did God make wasps? What use are they?" but the fact is, they are an integral part of our ecosystem. Without them we would suffer from infestations of other insects and agricultural pesticides would be in more demand. Wasps become a real nuisance to humans in late summer, when the workers are out looking for food and they will often eat your intended lunch! Sweet foods like jams, fruit and fizzy drinks are a real favourite for them. The sting is quick and painful and can be repeated many times if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can be stung by more then one wasp if you disturb their nest. The sting is used for defense and against its prey by injecting venom by a modified egg laying tube (ovipositor) hence only female wasps are able to sting.
