Honeybees don't hibernate but remain in their hive when it is too cold to fly. Workers that are alive in the fall stay alive throughout the winter. They surround their queen forming a "bee ball" made up of constantly moving bees. This movement creates warmth that keeps the hive from freezing. For another example, the bald faced hornet queen will go underground and hibernate, usually under a log, while all her workers die off after the first hard frost.

Wasps for the most part die during the winter. Enough of them will hide somewhere and survive to breed next spring to keep the species going. Some hide underground, in trees, and in homes.

At the end of the summer the last of the wasp to develop will be next years queens...they will seek out sheltered spots ranging from under loose bar and rocks to getting inside attics of houses to wait out the winter...the rest of the wasps die out

Around here - northeast Alabama, they go into my firewood stacks and wait for me to uncover them. Except for this winter just past. I sprayed the stack every so often with diesel. If you have never put your glasses on to see the wood clearly and realized that you have a few different varieties of wasp/hornet crawling EVERYWHERE!! I hope you never do. I have lived in the South all of my life and never knew that these things did such. It was horrific when I did! They were all over me. Thank goodness it was really cold.(20°). I didn't get stung but was super alert and careful afterwards.
