Are Bees and Wasps the same?

Bees are often confused with wasps because they have a similar shaped body. However bees are vital for pollination to occur and should not be harmed. Wasps have distinct yellow/black bands around the abdomen, Bees have a more non-descript light brown/brown-yellow colour.

How long does a Wasps nest last?

A nest will last for 4-6 months however during this time, the nest may change from active to inactive depending on the time of the year.

What will happen if I kill a Wasp?

Killing one wasps will usually attract more. It is better to repel or ignore the wasp, rather than kill.

How long do Wasps live?

A queen can live as long as 12 months as she hibernates during the winter in order to establish a new colony the following spring/summer. It is thought that worker wasps live for around 12 – 22 days and male wasps have even shorter lives.
