Basically, it starts with the egg, which hatches into a larvae, which grows up and pupautes, then the adult emerges. The strange thing about hymenoptera is that most adults have only one set of chromosomes. The eggs that are laid are not fertilized. I forget the rest of the details about how males and queens are made, but it is interesting to say the least.

Yea the guy above me has it basically correct, however it can differ from species to species. For example a species of parasitic wasp has no stinger but injects caterpillars with it's eggs which hatch and kill it from the inside out with the help of a polydnavirus that the wasp has.
