I found a wasp (I believe he is a paper wasp) in my attic last fall. I brought him downstairs and set him up in a little dish on my bookshelf. I've been feeding him bits of apples and strawberries (he apparently prefers apples) and giving him water ever since. Next week he will be AT LEAST 5 months old. I have photographs I took of him on 10/22/07, but may have found him a week or two earlier. He sits pretty still a lot of the time, but when I turn on a lamp (60 watt bulb) that I placed about 10 inches away, he'll start moving around. He once went to another bookshelf, and another time flew down to the floor (Munchkin almost had a snack that day). I have never covered the dish and he has never dissappeared for more the 8 hours (when he does, I do have to go find him - not sure he knows how to get back home). He seems to have had a sore neck for about 6 weeks. I guess it's just old age. He apparently does not have a stinger - or he really likes me. For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_wasp

How many months do bees and wasps hibernate?
They truthfully don't hibernate. Hibernation is a long period of sleep in mainly the winter time. Most types of bees are just inactive outside of the hive for a month or two. They mainly just stay inside the hive and do some cleaning up like you or me would do when we really cant leave the house.
Why do wasps have long legs?
Wasps have long legs to help them catch and hold onto their prey, as well as to navigate through their environment more effectively.
Is hive long vowel or short vowel?
In the word "hive," the letter "i" is a long vowel because it says its name, /aɪ/, which is the same sound as the letter name "i."
Once you have destroyed a hive will they return to the same place to make another one?
It depends on the species. Some bumble bees or wasps may. Honey bees that were away foraging will return to where the hive was, but without the queen they can't survive as a colony for very long. If the queen has survived they may make a new nest.
