The queen wasp creates a nest in the spring and starts laying eggs. These eggs hatch into larvae which develop into worker wasps. Towards the end of summer new queens and drones are produced which will go off and mate. The old queen will then stop laying. The newly-fertilized queens will find a place to hibernate for the winter, but the rest of the colony will die when the cold weather comes.

In social wasps, workers (sterile females) have an average lifespan of 12-22 days, drones (fertile males) have a slightly longer lifespan than workers, and queens (fertile females) have an average lifespan of 12 months.
