One of the larger orders of insects, the Hymenoptera includes the suborders symphta (sawtails, parasitic wood wasps, horntails) and apocrita (wasps, bees and ants). The Hymenoptera are one of the only groups of organisms that display unusual behaviors of eusocialism, or altruism, in respect to their reproductive social organization. Females typically insert eggs through an ovipositor into a host or other well protected area. That's just how they get by.
