In this brief YouTube clip, Laurence Edwards explains that a drill bit has tunneled into a piece of wood, revealing a cavity filled with many queen wasps. He notes that the queens appear ready to leave the nest and seek overwintering sites. The exchange is conversational, with a brief comment from a second speaker acknowledging the coolness of the observation.
