Great video! Very informative. It would be nice to have the dates, so you get some idea of how long the whole process takes. How long between laying the first egg and having the first worker emerge? Perhaps it isn't so easy to accumulate that information.

Anyway, grat show! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comment

The first egg was laid on April 6th and the first worker hatched on June 12th. That is roughly 2 months to go from egg to adult. Seems kind of long compared to what I have read, but it seems right to me.

among others, i like the scene of an emerging worker and an ovipositing queen.

amazing! i would love to try that, please give me tips how to make the barrier. Dude also, how did it not sting you?

[maculifrons]

They are very easy going wasps if you interact with the queen from the very beginning. I have a video uploaded on how to set up a home for a queen

I notice a few hairs on the abdomen, how do these help the wasps?

And you really want to give up wasp keeping! The dedication you show alone proves that you are a very cabable waspkeeper, you just got some bad luck thats all :) Oh yeah your missed on VL

Nice video, vulgaris! I really love the shots of the queen ovipositing! I was able to see it up close the other day! My P. carolina queen layed an egg while I was changing out her honey dish! Beautiful colony, by the way! ^_^
