Bald-faced hornets are not true hornets, but rather a species in the yellowjacket family. There are efforts by some specialists to emphasize the family connection to yellowjackets by renaming the bald-faced hornet as the “bald-faced aerial yellowjacket.” For now, we are sticking with the name bald-faced hornet for consistency.
Bald-faced hornets live in colonies similar to those of honey bees and ants. The colony is contained inside the nest constructed of paper-like material made from chewed wood fibers mixed with saliva. The nest is composed of three or four tiers of combs within a thick, multilayered outer shell. A single opening at the bottom allows the hornets to fly in and out. Bald-faced hornet nests are usually located in wooded areas, attached to a tree branch, but may be attached to shrubs, utility poles or house siding.
