EDITORS COMMENTS
Move over, carpenters! This Hornet Queen is taking DIY to a whole new level in Norfolk, UK. Meet FEU-174, the reigning monarch of nest building. With her jaws of steel and an eye for design, she's turning wood into a buzzing paradise for her hornet family. In this close-up shot captured by Geoff du Feu, we witness the true craftsmanship of nature's architects. Look at that determined face as she sinks her teeth into the task at hand – literally! Every bite brings her closer to creating a cozy home sweet home for her buzzing brood. FEU-174 proves that being single doesn't mean you can't build your dream house. She fearlessly collects and gathers every piece of precious nest material with precision and purpose. No wonder they call her the 'Queen Bee' among hornets! This photo reminds us that even insects have their own unique talents and abilities. Who knew these tiny creatures could be such skilled woodworkers?
