When finished, nests consist of about 50 cells. They have no protective outer surface. Up to 30 workers live in a single nest. At the end of July, the adult females and males of the new generation appear. In September the wasps die with the exception of the fertilized young queens, which hibernate. | | |

After the Queen has laid her eggs she looks after them for some time until the workers hatch , then they care for the brood. Later they also expand the nest above ground. The queens, who can live up to the age of 29 , lay several thousand eggs in their lifetime. After 14 days the larvae hatch . The larvae pupate after 2 weeks.... | | |
| | While the males feed on the nectar of various plants, the females in Central Europe prey solely on the workers of honey bees (Apis mellifera). To detect prey they deploy their visual skills as well as their strong sense of smell. When a flying honey bee is clearly identified, the attack is immediate. The bee wolf catches the prey with its front legs and, usi... | | |

Vespa crabro are easily confused with oriental hornets (Vespa orientalis), and the female workers look very similar to the queen of the median wasp (Dolichovespula media). | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs singly on bumblebees, ambushing the workers in flight. They cling to the host animal and lay their egg between the abdominal segments. The larvae hatch quickly and then eat their way into the abdomen of the host and hollow it out gradually. Sicus ferrugineus larvae pupate and overwinter in th... | | |
