When do wasps hibernate

Question

iv noticed, there was hardly any wasps till about a week ago and now there r loads everywhere. they get in houe when windows r open, when will they go back to sleep, they r doing my hea din, cant leave windows open.

Answer 1

When it gets cold they slow down their movements like all insects but I don't believe they live long enough to hibernate

Answer 2

Nest years Queens will winter over when the weather turns cold... the reason you are seeing more is that the nest sizes are growing. If there were a hundred nests set up within an acre in the Spring, there was basically 100 wasps about...if those nests now avg 30 wasps per nest you have 3000 wasps in the same area as before
