By [[1932]], the Hornets had possessed the museum's curator [[Wibbsey|Mrs Wibbsey]]. After being stung by a Hornet, famous dancer [[Ernestina Stott]] felt compelled to steal Francesa's shoes from the museum, using the Hornets' power residing on them in her dances. The Hornets used Wibbsey's voice to compell Francesca to dance towards the sea in revenge for abusing their power but she was saved by the Doctor.

Controlling Percy, the Hornets possessed [[Taxidermy|stuffed animals]] that he repaired at his factory. They used the animals to assassinate prominent individuals, including a Cabinet minister, attracting the Doctor's attention. He lured them to [[Nest Cottage]] where he contained them using the TARDIS' force field and hypnotised them to keep them docile, though occasionally the Hornets attempted to kill him especially at night.

Using his TARDIS' [[dimensional stabiliser]], the Doctor shrank himself, Wibbsey and Mike so they could confront the Queen in person inside a stuffed zebra. The entire hive abandoned their stuffed animals to come to her defence in the zebra, where she attempted to turn Mike against the Doctor. The Doctor helped him overcome her influence and used one of Francesca's shoes and his sonic screwdriver to turn the Hornets' power against the Queen, shrinking her down until she only existed in the [[Micro-universe]]. With her gone, anarchy took over the hive enabling the Doctor and his companions to escape, return to normal size and then contain the whole swarm in a forceshield around the zebra.
