whenever I see a wasp nest during (Canada) Winter, wasps nests get destroyed but then in may, they just appear out of nowhere?
In: Biology
Mated queens hibernate during the winter while the rest of the colony dies. Those that manage to survive to spring build a nest, lay their eggs, and start a new colony.
I don’t know if you’ve seen r/askreddit today but apparently [there’s a guy who’s collecting them in order to rob a bank.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/f54y3m/bank_tellers_of_reddit_what_is_your_plan_if/)
Depending on your local species; look for little golf ball sized mini nests which the new queens live in over winter. Often found under the eaves and in attics.
