so happy to find your channel! it's hard to find good content about wasps that isn't just "how to kill them" :/ im most interested in paper wasps and their behavior, i finally found a polistes fuscatus nest yesterday! i wonder if she was a queen raised from the nest that was there last year? they seem to return to the same spots, im excited to see how it will grow
I use to Collect Wasps and keep them as Pets to the most I got was 5 wasps but then they somehow got out and then I had none and I’m stopped collecting wasps after that but then I found a Bald Faced hornet he was very sick I got some bedding and nests and apples so he could eat he only lasted 4-5 Days and yeah
Hello I have found a hibernating queen wasp today [german wasp] and I was wondering if I could keep it in my terrarium and after it layer some eggs in the nest that she made I would kelp it outside. Do you think it will make a nest?
Hi! if you're referring to Vespula germanica, unfortunately this species doesn't seem to nest easily in captivity. Many people have tried and failed. If you want to keep wasps, you should try with Polistes dominula, which nests very easily
None. There is no physical distinction between queens and workers in Polistes wasps. Both have the same organs and structure, both can mate and reproduce successfully if the circumstances require it. The only real difference is that queens can overwinter while workers cannot.
Thank you for subscribing! Unfortunately i haven't had a lot of time to upload over the summer, but i am preparing awesome videos abut a few cool behaviors I've observed in my colonies. I'm still gathering informations
@@drewvy2284 Then she starved to death. Adult wasps consume nectar and similar things, not solid food. The solid food is exclusively to feed growing larvae. Did she have access to nectar or at least sugar water?
WHY ARE THEY SO CUTE

Yeah so I'm a shitty editor and i hadn't realized I didn't remove the audio so there's a lot of background noise. Sorry
I loooove them 🥺🥺🥺
Can't wait to see this season's wasp videos!
You'll have to wait a few more weeks, this season started off a bit on the slow side, but i will bring new content (new species!) soon
Awesome
Sei riuscito a dare cibo di giorno senza essere attaccato ...anche se in una teca ?
Era mattina, il sole era ancora debole

@@waspjournals41 thanks for your answer!
I have let the queen free as I spotted some more queen wasps flying in my yard.
Noice 😀
What are the distinguishing features of one of their queens?
None. There is no physical distinction between queens and workers in Polistes wasps. Both have the same organs and structure, both can mate and reproduce successfully if the circumstances require it. The only real difference is that queens can overwinter while workers cannot.
Hey, can you do an update pls, just subscribed.

@@waspjournals41 cool
Is ther another set up I can use?
Tutorial on keeping them pls🥺
What are those yellow things in the chambers?
That’s probably something similar to honey I’m not sure if this species makes honey but I know there are a couple species of wasps that make honey
Update
Working on it!
Mine always die and I don't know why?
Do you handle them with your bare hands? If not, are they in a fully closed enclosure?
@@cholm2070 I feed them with forceps because it was just the queen and she never came off of her nest

@@cholm2070 I gave her honey?
@@drewvy2284 that’s not their primary diet. I suggest you look up a formula for a butterfly feeding solution instead.
