Yes. in fact a hornet is just a wild bee.
There are three types of bee that nest in the ground: digger bees, sweat bees and mining bees. These are known collectively as ground bees and are particularly beneficial as pollinators.
No. Unlike other insects like the spider, they do not bite, Wasps, Bees and Hornets sting when their hives/nests feel threatened or they do.
As a beekeeper I occasionally get stung by a bee and although they are initially painful I find that the effects of nettle stings last longer. Wasp stings are worse than both and although I haven't personally had a hornet sting, I have heard from those that have that they are the worst.
Honeycombs are made up of hexagons, so I would say a hexagon.
There are many insect eating birds which will stay around beehives and consume dozens of bees a day. Skunks or opossums will scrape on the entrance of the hive and eat the bees that emerge to defend the hive. Bears are notorious for overturning hives for the honey. In late summer, yellow jackets capture returning bees and bite their abdomen for their honey.
Wasps and hornets are similar to bees.
Yes. Some hornets and some wasps do indeed make honey. However, the honey made by wasps is not consumed by humans.
The words to your ictonaut song about bees would be "i like the sound of your buzz".

Adult food consists of nectar or other sugary solutions such as honeydew and the juices of ripe fruits. Hornets hunt other insects, caterpillars, spiders, and even other bees and wasps to supply protein to larvae. They also chew plant material, like tree bark, to build their nests.
Hornets, like Wasps, generally prefer a liquid diet, drinking honeydew, nectar and fluids from bruised and rotten fruit or tree sap. They are also predators to other insects such as flies, bees & mosquitos, therefore a source of natural pest control for your homes surrounds.
Not all the time, some insects produce venom that is not poisonous like :The ringneck snake.
Hornets fly using their wings like a wasp.
Beautiful butterflies buzz by. Big brown bears bounce boldly. Busy bees buzz busily.
