In the wild, some of these nests are built

But you might be most familiar with the paper nests --

typically found attached to buildings or trees.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records,

Now, we're all accustomed to avoiding these nests,

because there are a lot of fascinating factors

that make these nests work for wasps and their babies.

The hardest part was definitely here at the top,

where you can tell the cells are more dense and wider.

If I can give you a scale for how big this is,

I mean, like, look at it next to my head.

This is like a brick cellphone from the '90s.

It's the foundation that the entire nest is built off of.

They're what's called holometabolous insects,

and these cells are basically their cribs.

Petrovicheva: The cells are open when they

They're shaped similar to a hollow cylinder,

while still having a very strong structure.

Petrovicheva: Oftentimes there's some food

Some wasp species tear up insects for the babies,

while tarantula hawk wasps lay their eggs

Other species lay their eggs inside their prey,

Petrovicheva: Once the larva is ready to metamorphose,

it'll become a pupa inside the cell still,

the nest must maintain a stable temperature

This means as much insulation as possible.

the domes are almost always made of salivary secretions,

Petrovicheva: So, they take wood, they chew it up,

and they mix it with saliva to make a glue,

the stronger and more sturdy the structure.

the queen wraps the entire nest in an envelope --

limiting the entrance to one tiny little hole.

And more cones can be added on with more pedicels,

with tiny little staircases that the wasps can use

So, now I know the question on some of your minds is,

While both bees and wasps pollinate flowers,

bees actually farm nectar to turn it into honey,

Most wasps, on the other hand, are meat eaters

and prefer a diet of freshly chewed insects,
