Do yellow jackets die and then return to the same nest?
Well, no, once yellow jackets die they don't really go anywhere. I guess if they died in their nest then they would stay there (or more likely booted out the door by other wasps that didn't want a corpse hanging around)what time of year do they hibernate?
What is the average number of yellow jackets in a nest?
hundreds of thousands
How can yellow jackets be prevented from returning?
If there is a nest that is abandoned you should destroy it.
Can yellow jackets rebuild a nest without a queen?
Yellow jackets cannot rebuild a nest without a queen. The queen is essential for laying eggs and establishing a new colony. If the queen dies or is removed, the existing workers may continue to care for the nest for a short time, but they will eventually die off, and the nest will not survive. Without a queen, there is no new generation of yellow jackets to continue the colony.
What are yellow jackets enemies?
Yellow jackets have several enemies that will eat them. Bears will root out a yellow jacket nest , as will raccoons, skunks, and badgers. Additionally, certain birds will eat lone yellow jackets as well.
Do yellow jackets die in winter and in spring do they return to same nest to start a new colony?

How long does it take for yellow jackets to build an in ground nest?
Yellow jackets can build an in-ground nest relatively quickly, often within a few weeks. Typically, the initial phase of nest construction occurs in the spring when a fertilized queen establishes the colony. By late summer, the nest can grow to house thousands of wasps, depending on environmental conditions and food availability. Overall, the entire process from establishment to peak population can take just a couple of months.
Do wasps return to the same nest every year?
Yes, some species of wasps do return to the same nest every year, while others build new nests each year.
Will pouring hot water on yellow jackets kill them?
Pouring hot water on yellow jackets can kill some of them, as the high temperature can be lethal. However, it may not be an effective method for eliminating an entire nest, as many yellow jackets may escape the water. Additionally, this approach can be dangerous for the person attempting it, as it may provoke the insects and lead to stings. For safer and more effective control, consider using pest control methods specifically designed for yellow jackets.
