The Hornet is born in the autumn and crawls into a warm spot to hibernate for the winter. Come spring, she wakes up and starts building her home and her family. Once she has a large family she stops working and tries to keep the family going. By the end of the year she is tired and passes her responsibility of being a queen to one of her children.

The best way to avoid hornets is to be cautious around their nest; they don't want to hurt you. In fact, their family is peaceful.
