Stuart - "A typical European wasp nest is started in the spring by a single queen emerging from hibernation. She raises the first worker wasps herself, which then help her raise more workers, and so the nest grows through the summer. Come the autumn most workers die out while the newly born queens search for a warm, dark place to hibernate."

Thanks for that Michael, glad my subsequent actions have been validated. Let me just say that 'God did not save this Queen!' :)
