They mentioned hedgehogs and badgers, but I'm thinking they aren't around the homestead
Birds That Destroy Hornets’ Nests
Birds are a common foe to hornets’ nests, and certain species, such as bluebirds, tanagers, and catbirds, are known for preying on both wasps and their larvae.
These birds can survive the potential stings from hornets in order to access their nests. They disable hornets by eating them or scraping them against hard surfaces to get rid of their stingers.
Because of birds’ narrow beaks, they can enter the openings in a hornets’ nest and remove larvae. If they find a nest, they may feast on larvae until the nest is effectively destroyed.
