Hornets nests are entirely exterior; trees, shrubs, under decks, and high in the eaves. They construct a “football†or upside down teardrop-shaped nest from gray paper. Hornets, as do wasps and yellow jackets, actually make this paper themselves by chewing on tiny slivered wood. The young are hatched and food is stored in the nest’s center or “core†of hexagonal (or six sided) cells. This hive is in good shape and was taken off a tree. Measuring H 8 X L 8 X D 8
