One of the components of the hornet venom is a pheromone, called the alarm pheromone. This attracts other hornets to attack. When you squash a hornet you release all of the venom it has stored and the pheromone attracts the others.

How do Baldface Hornets mate?

Male baldface hornets and young queens mate during the late summer and early fall. Mating occurs in the air, with the male transferring sperm to the queen. After mating, the male dies, and the mated queen seeks out a suitable overwintering site to hibernate until the following spring.


Do wasps eat hornets?

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!
