The workers and the male hornets of the nest day off as winter approaches. The queen moves out of the nest and finds a place such as a whole in a wall or tree to lay dormant till the warmer weather comes back. They do not reuse the same nest the following year.

Are wasps dormant in the nest during the winter?
It depends on what you mean by "hornet." There are many species of wasps called "hornets." Even those considered "true hornets" by scientists comprise more than 20 species. Even the simplest answer has to be "yes and no." In temperate zones, most hornets die before winter. Only the fertilized queens live in a dormant state until the next spring, when the begin building a new colony. In warmer areas, hornets can live year-round. I've found white-faced hornets hibernating under rotten logs. There were about four or five of them together. Scientific sources suggest that only the queen should be hibernating alone, but I found a number of them hibernating together!

Is it safe to dig in the winter in the ground where you know there were hornets wasps if you hit their nest will they wake and attack?
There should be no danger of that. Only newly-mated queen hornets and wasps hibernate through the winter -- and they don't hibernate in the old nest. If there has been cold weather, especially if cold enough for a frost, the rest of the colony should have died.
