HORNETS do not land to sting but get you in divebombing raids which is why disturbing a hornets nest is a VERY BAD IDEA as you then get hundreds of them coming at you from all quarters. Saying that, if left undisturbed hornets are very approachable, the bee group here tell a story about one of the old guys finding a small nest & putting it in a string bag which they hung on the balcony of the bee house and they were able to watch the hornets to and fro over their heads during tea & lunchbreaks all summer as the colony grew.
