Vertical 4 by 5 closeup of inside of the wasp house, taken from the open bottom. A paperWasp queen is on the neatly made honeycomb pattern nest which is attached to the top. This wasp house is made of scrap wood, and looks like a mini birdhouse, except the entrance is at the bottom front.

    The in my plot of the , and another peek of the queen.

    I don’t know if it’s the same queen who originally built a nest in the underside of the small plastic storage bench (the first photo shows the part of it in the left). I attached the nest under the roof of the waspHouse.

    Vertical photo of the wasp house. It’s a wooden box similar to a birdhouse, except the entrance is at the bottom front, mounted on the cedar stake, and placed by the wire mesh fence of my plot. The neighboring plot is overrun by the weed—in the background. There’s a pickling cucumber plant growing in the wire mesh cage in the foreground.
