Abstract: Overwintering behavior and relatedness between females within an overwintering cluster of social wasps, Parapolybia crocea, were examined. The overwintering cluster consisted of both related and unrelated females, including gynes and workers. They interacted frequently and moved between neighboring hibernation sites before entering hibernation.
