got this off the web
"The paper-like covering of the nest is made from chewed up wood, cardboard or paper that the workers will form into the outside nest covering. Nests can also be colorful as wasps will gather nest materials from different sources."
"Hornet nests are made of a paper-like material made by the insects from
chewed up plant material and their own saliva. The honey comb shape is a
very efficient way to pack a strong structure with lots of cavities into a
small space, each comb cell in a wasp or hornet nest serves as the hatching
and growth chamber for one egg and larva."
