What type of Hornet are you talking about? No matter what type it is, you are not on the menu, and it is safe to venture outside. If it was at my place, I would be outside with the 550D and 100mm USM Macro lens. I have taken 100s of photos inluding paper wasps, other bities (including Eastern Brown and Red Belly Black snakes) and hornets, and have never been stung or bitten to date. Macro photography requires the lens to be about 2 inches away for facial details, and the snakes, lying on my belly about 10-20 inches away. Enjoy the beauty of this creature instead, it is facinating how they build their homes. YOU ARE SAFE!!!!
