- Reading
- Browse the contents first and choose a section that interests your reader. Pause at the diagrams to identify details, then try the nest-material activity if it suits your reading session.
- Themes
- Colony work and nest-building: The book describes how hornet queens and workers build the nest and carry out other colony tasks. The colony’s tasks are presented as connected parts of hornet life, with nest-building at the centre of the explanation.
- Comparing insect architects: The book compares hornets with other insects and includes a section on other insect architects. Comparison is used to place hornets among other nest-building insects rather than treating them in isolation.
- Worth knowing
- If those details are a concern, preview the relevant sections together.
