Yes, they do
Yes, queen wasps can sting. The sting of a queen wasp is typically more painful and potent than that of worker wasps.
There are male wasps (drones) and female wasps (queen and workers).
Most wasps are undeveloped females. The queen is the mother of the group of wasps and mates with several drones.
For wasps, and all ants and bees for that matter, the queen is the only female that lays eggs in the colony. All the other females are workers, and they are infertile. So no queen, no colony.
They all have a queen
WASPS AND OTHER bees and queen bees
Yes, most worker wasps die in the fall, while the queen wasp may survive the winter.
Young queen wasps search for a sheltered place in which to hibernate during autumn (fall). All other wasps will die when the cold weather comes.
No because queen wasps only live for 1 year, as opposed to queen bees. Queen wasps just live over the winter (in hibernation), but die before the next winter. They make new queens before the next winter which will hibernate.
Wasps typically start to come out of hibernation in the spring when the temperature starts to warm up. This can vary depending on the region and species of wasp. Most common wasps become active in late spring or early summer.
In a wasp colony, the queen wasp typically has a larger body size and more aggressive behavior compared to the worker wasps.
Young queen wasps will hibernate through their first winter to start new colonies in the spring, all other wasps die when the cold weather comes.
