Labour is organised - the Queen only lays eggs while the workers are responsible for nest building , nest cleaning, food procurement and feeding the larvae, and the drones are responsible for the fertilization of young queens.

>> Wasps
A colony of common wasps usually comprises 3000 to 4000 animals although colonies of 10,000 wasps are not uncommon. As many as 50,000 common wasps have been found living in one colony (in New Zealand for example). Labour in the colony is organised. The intensity of brood care is similar to that of bees. While the adult wasps are vegetarian - feeding on nectar from plants and other sugary juices the larvae of Vespidae are fed on the protein rich meat of other...
>> Wasps -> Common wasp
.... The wasps often nest in spaces previously used by other animals which are then expanded. The colony usually comprises 3000 to 4000 animals. Even nests of 7000 wasps are not uncommon. The nests can have a circumference of 2 meters. The division of labour is organised in the colony. The intensity of the brood care is like that of the bees. The larvae of Vespidae are fed on the meat of insects.
