Hornet

A hornet often touches a sharp, sudden threat to a cherished bond — the disruption of long friendship, the sting of envious detractors. The dream may ask whose nest you've stirred, where small but vicious attacks are gathering against you, and how a single sting might unravel a tie or money you'd assumed was secure.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
