People often ask “how long does it take for a wasp to make a nest” and rightly so! We have to admit that inside we’re all wondering ourselves. After all, it seems unbelievable that wasps can build something so intricate and as beautiful as a wasp nest in such a short time. The truth is though, wasps can indeed create this wonderful structure in a very fast amount of time. On average, a wasp colony including queen will start building their home around the end of March (or at least they start finishing it after the queen starts laying eggs). They do this because they know their strength is in numbers and the more bodies they’ve got working on it the quicker it’ll get finished — although there are those few who aren’t quite as efficient.
