\"What
What You Need to Know About Bees and Wasps<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Some bees and wasps prefer living a solitary life, but others are known for being social. Social wasps include yellow jackets, paper wasps and hornets, which keep Middlesex County NJ pest control companies<\/a> busy in summer. Social bees include honey bees and bumble bees. So, how long do these insects live?<\/p>\n

Social Wasps<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most social wasps<\/a> only live for one year. The exception is the colony\u2019s queen, who finds shelter during the winter months, then emerges in spring to build a nest. After laying her eggs, the new workers that hatch help to maintain the nest. A new queen eventually takes over, while the old queen and other members of the colony die off as temperatures drop in fall.<\/p>\n

Social Bees<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bumble bees have a similar life cycle to social wasps. Fertilized females make their way to hibernation sites to spend the winter months, while males and other workers die when the temperatures fall. A queen emerges in spring and lays eggs that produce a new family of worker bees. Honey bees<\/a> have colonies that typically last for more than a year. The queen and some workers survive the winter months by clustering together for heat.<\/p>\n
