About the wasp
The common wasp is also called the "lemonade wasp. This is because in late summer, this wasp goes in search of sweetness. During the summer, the workers in the nest receive sweet liquid from the larvae. After the summer, the larvae are fully grown and there are lots of workers. They all want sweetness. So they go in search of that and come for our lemonade.
