PART 3 - SEE WASP NEST GROW OVER 6 MONTHS! European Paper Wasp Series (Polistes Dominula)! Enjoy!

Join Green Wasp Removal for PART THREE of our 9-part series following the entire lifecycle of a wild Polistes Dominula nest (European Paper Wasp) that we filmed for 6 months during the 2022 wasp season! The series shows you the fascinating world of an invasive species of paper wasp, and how they survive and thrive in the wild here in the USA. You’ll see these scrappy wasps go through all the action and drama of building their nest, laying eggs, establishing dominance amongst competing queens, foraging for food and nesting material, feeding their larvae, defending their nest against daily attacks by ants, spiders, parasitic wasps, etc. We first discovered this Polistes Dominula nest in May 2022 when it was started by two co-foundress queens and had only a dozen brand new cells. We documented its development all the way through November 2022 when it finished the season with over 200 cells! This episode (PART THREE) documents all the adventures on this nest during a drama-filled single day on June 14, 2022. You may use the time code links below to jump to any section that interests you.
