That's a sound natural history site but of no practical help to Nick.

Maybe you're right, perhaps the bit "At the end of autumn a number of
eggs develop into new queens and males, which leave the nest and mate.
The new queens seek out suitable places in which to hibernate, and the
males and the old colony (including the old queen) die" would be a bit
beyond his grasp, do you think? Or just yours?

Yes I wholly agree Mary, best post of your's I've ever read.
