Wasp Farming Techniques

To breed wasps, you need to use the domestication cage built with wooden bars, and then capture wild wasps from the field for breeding, and provide the wasps with the feeds based on cabbage greenworms to replenish their proteins, and then in the spring and summer, you need to put the cage into the fields or vegetable gardens, so that the wasps can hunt for food on their own.

1. Breeding environment

The wasp is suitable to grow in a dry and warm environment. When breeding, you can use wooden strips to build a cage and drill holes at the bottom for the wasp to enter and exit, and then you can wear professional bee trapping equipment to catch the wasp in the field and then put it into a cage to breed.

2. Provide food

Wild wasps eat insect carcasses and food with high sugar content. When breeding wasps, you can put green bugs into the cage to replenish the energy of wasps when there is less food, but when there is plenty of food, you should put the cage into the field or the vegetable garden, so as to let the wasps forage for food by themselves.

3. Winterization management

The wasps are afraid of freezing, and they will reduce their activities when the temperature is low. In the winter breeding, you can cover the outside of the cage with quilts or straws, to keep the wasps warm and prevent them from freezing to death, and hang the cage far away from the ground, to avoid the invasion of rats and other natural enemies.
