The process is reliant upon the number of wasps actively engaged in construction and not dividing their labors between foraging and construction .The nests of some social wasps, such as hornets, are first constructed by the queen and reach about the size of a walnut before sterile female workers take over construction. The queen initially starts the nest by making a single layer or canopy and working outwards until she reaches the edges of the cavity. Beneath the canopy she constructs a stalk to which she can attach several cells; these cells are where the first eggs will be laid. The queen then continues to work outwards to the edges of the cavity after which she adds another tier.

Wasps generally stay in their nest for between 7 and 10 days. The actual time varies greatly based on the species.

The wasps will die at the end of summer when the colder weather arrives. They will not use the nest again in subsequent years.
