Each year, a young female hornet queen selects just the right spot
and designs a nest of six-sided cells. Every cell is made from a
paper-like material she creates by mixing wood with her own saliva.
Once she has a small structure, she lays an egg in each cell and
raises her young. Soon the queen has a whole family of workers,
which continue to build more cells and increase the size of the
hive. These workers also hunt insects for food, care for the queen
and her young, and protect the nest. In this exciting book, you can
learn what makes hornets similar to and different from other
insects. Close-up diagrams reveal extraordinary details about
hornets bodies, both inside and out. And you can perform an
activity that helps you understand how a female hornet queen
creates the paper-like material for her nest. Learn more about this
