Collective nouns for wasps include:
- a colony of wasps (the members of the collection).
- a nest of wasps (like colony, but particularly when found in the nest).
- a swarm of wasps (usually in flight together, perhaps attacking someone).
Other examples include the following, but they lack citations and are almost certainly malicious coinages that should be avoided. They propagate through media such as the internet and clutter the language without adding value.
- a bike of wasps
- a pail of wasps
- a pladge of wasps
