Answers:    wasps dont live out the winter. the queen leaves ,,thats it. its a late nest.
Wasps don't leave. They're probably still hibernate. Carefully take it down and put it surrounded by a plastic bag.EDIT--I once sent a wasp nest to the institution, in the spring--thought it would be interesting. Well, it be. After several hours, when they warmed up, they come out! The school have to be evacuated.
