Hornets’ nest in conservatory: Live and let live?

Hornets are yellow and brown in colour. They are between 20 and 35mm in length meaning that they are slightly larger than wasps. In addition, the biology and life cycle of hornets is similar to wasps. The young, fertilised females hibernate through the winter and emerge in the spring to form new colonies. In fact, they are from the same order (Hymenoptera). However, the distribution and extent of the hornet is usually limited to mainland Europe and the southern part of the British Isles. Climate change has had an impact on the range and extent of this insect. For example, sightings have been reported in North West England and Wales.

In spite of their large size, hornets are not particularly aggressive. Furthermore, because they are relatively uncommon, they should not be destroyed unless absolutely necessary.
