Thanks for reaching out and for including a photo with your question. Your picture shows a beautiful paper wasp nest. Wasps build nests in the spring and summer, and they vacate the nests in the fall. They don't reuse old nests the following year. We don't expect to find any live wasps in a nest at this point of the year (late winter).
