A team of fourteen conducted this week's survey under warm conditions with persistent light rain. Paper wasp queens have to do all the work when they begin their colonies, from making the nest to raising the first brood of workers. Shown in images below, each shallow cell first contains just an egg. As the larva grows, the adult caretaker must extend the paper walls to accommodate the larger occupant.
