| Hornet Queen/when will she go away?
Hi everyone, my first thread was querying flying insect which I now know is definitely a queen hornet. She had built a small nest underneath a wooden structure which had a nice little gap underneath. When my husband removed the nest it had small larvae in it which were moving. The fence has not been put back but the queen is still coming to where it was and then hanging round the back of the house and near the eaves. Will she start another nest nearby or if not when will she realise that the nest is no longer there and go away. I hate wasps and hornets and am wary of going out the back as this queen always seems to be in the vicinity. At the same time I don't like killing anything unless I have to. Any comments would be appreciated.
