Hornets (Vespa Crabro) are the largest european eusocial wasp, the queen measures 25 to 50 mm (1-2 in) long but male workers are smaller. Despite the fact that hornets are larger than other wasps, they are not more aggressive as a lot of people might think. They don’t usually sting unless provoked or threatened, in which case they can become very aggressive.
The hornets nest can be found in wall cavities, hollow trees and loft spaces. The nest is made from chewed up wood fibres combined with their saliva. Hornet nests are usually bigger in size than a wasp nest but the number contained within the nest is much smaller than a wasp nest (typically between 200-400 hornets per nest).
Hornets can be extremely aggressive if they become angered or feel threatened and can deliver a painful sting. The sting can sometimes cause swelling which is particularly dangerous when the sting is on or around the throat as it can lead to difficulty in breathing. The sting of a hornet is no more dangerous than that of a wasp but still, not a pleasant feeling.
