How can it be?

Night time temperatures dropping down to 3 or 4 the last couple of days and day time staying in single figures.

Yet there are still wasps buzzing around me when I pass a hedge they have had their nest in all summer.

How can they survive in this weather?

All the male wasps with nothing to do. It’s still quite warm during the day too.

Wasps are always up for a ruck when they have had too much alcohol   :

However, the issue isn’t that the wasps are getting drunk. The worrying problem is that drunk wasps are more liable to attack humans. Throughout the summer wasps will happily eat flies and caterpillars as their natural food source. But, as the summer months continue, this food source begins to dwindle. Wasps then eat the windfall apples, and this is where the drunk wasp invasion problems begin.
