Donald Campbell, age 9, of Baie d’Urfe,Que., Canada for his question:

DO WASPS MAKE HONEY?

The bees make honey from flower nectar and store it to feed themselves during the flowerless winter. The wasps are meat eaters, and their main food is insects. They even feed chewed up insect meat to their babies. So they do not need flowery nectar to make honey. And they do not need stores of food to last through the winter. In the late fall, all the worker wasps die. only a few young queens survive to lay batches of eggs to start new families in the spring. So the wasps do not need to make honey, as the bees do.
