How are Paper Wasp nests made?

The common wasp chews up small pieces of bark from a nearby tree and uses it as a paste to build the walls of its nest. First, it builds the horizontal layers and then it covers them with an outer shell, leaving a gap at the bottom to get in and lay its eggs. As the sheets dry out in the Sun, they harden and produce a tough protective covering for the nest.
