Nest progression 4 April - 26 April 2024.
Raining heavily now, 36F, maybe 1in snow possible so the wasps are on the nest resting.

Another egg laid today followed by the touching of the egg with antennae. The paper wasps have a schedule where they typically work from 9 - 5 as long as the weather is warm enough for them.

A behaviour I've seen after each egg is laid.
Egg was laid this morning and as soon as laid she (Queen) touches the egg with her antennae, typically each side of egg as in this photo. It's amazing how they dote on the eggs/nest and hopefully larvae soon.
