How should I go about keeping these wasps? I have a female that I saved from a pool and should I free range her with hollow sticks in a box, so she can make her nest there, or should I keep it fully enclosed?

She will likely leave if you let her out, so keep her in a large enclosure. You can provide honey in the center of a fake flower. You will have to let her out if you wish for her to build a nest if she is not mated, and if she is, provide her with the prey species and mud.

Thanks! I did this and she seems to love the honey!
