Hornets go dormant during the winter months, or when the temperatures go below freezing. Most of them do not survive and those that do build new nests in the spring.
Hornets lay eggs. The queen hornet will lay fertilized eggs that develop into female worker hornets, and unfertilized eggs that develop into male hornets. These eggs hatch into larvae that eventually pupate into adult hornets.
To get rid of hornets from a sandbox, first, make sure to wear protective clothing. Approach the sandbox in the evening or early morning when hornets are less active, and carefully remove any nests or hornets using a commercial insecticide labeled for use on wasps and hornets. After eliminating the hornets, cover the sandbox when not in use to prevent future infestations.
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!

Hornets are much bigger and their sting is much more painful than bees. Hornets can also sting more than once because it doesn't detach form its body unlike bees. Hornets tend to be more agressive than bees, but they are much less aggresive in general than wasps.
During the winter months, hornets nests become inactive as the cold temperatures cause the hornets to become dormant. The queen hornet will typically find a sheltered location to hibernate, while the worker hornets die off. The nest may deteriorate over time due to weather and lack of maintenance.
