ENTRANCE

This map shows where in America bald-faced hornets live.

Dark green: where they do live.

Light green: where they do not live.

Worker hornets drink sweet juices such as the liquids in strawberries and even leftovers in empty soda

cans!

Queens build the nests in hollow trees like this. They chew bark to make cells for larva. The queen is the only hornet

that lays the eggs.

Queen hornets cannot fly.
