Common Challenges

Problem: Wasp queen unable to fly due to clipped wings. This restricts her ability to establish a new nest, mate, and regulate body temperature.

Innovative Solutions

Solution: Create a temporary, sheltered environment to nurture the queen. Provide a sugar-water solution for nutrition. Consider using a clear plastic container with small ventilation holes to allow for observation and access to sunlight. Monitor the queen’s health and release her when her wings have regenerated.
