Actually AeronFarron, your character's ability to understand hornets makes no difference. Understanding them means nothing, nor does your summoning contract with said hornets. As long as you're not summoning Red Chimeran Hornets, we should be on the same page. Summoning contracts do not give one control over the thing summoned at all, usually it is an understanding between the summoner and the thing summoned. Not to mention it doesn't give one control over something that someone else summoned, even if it is the same species. Ex. Aoda & Sasuke and Gamakichi & Jiraiya. Compare and contrast to Sasuke & Manda. And simulating their pheremones doesn't give you any level of control over them. FYI.
Pheromones are incredibly important to hornets as a species. Natural hornets don't speak and don't really communicate with motions or verbal cues. They communicate primarily via pheromones. So if my character can simulate and manipulate the very thing all hornets use as communication, that is a lot more control than you think. She can easily simulate a "friendly" pheromone, which given the aggressive nature of the hornets you've created, would be incredibly powerful. Their basic instinct would tell them to leave her alone.
Aggression in insects and animals (humans included) typically means that they don't have cognitive responses, they don't stop and analyze, they follow their basic nature. Couple a horde mindset (which they seem to have) with a base nature, add in extreme aggression, and the fact that they are not summons: they probably identify friend or foe as well as attack commands by pheromones.
Now, I'll forgive you not reading my temp before you formulated your response. Had you done so, you'd have seen that the largest species of hornets (that I've made and was accepted) for Hornet summons had chosen to become her signature summons and to basically raise her. Her kekkei genkai evolved, over time, to allow her to understand them in their natural form of communication, as they lack the type of mouth that allows them to speak as a human does. Since the hornets communicated just as natural hornets do, she can understand them via pheromones, flight patterns, as well as behaviors and the seasons. Her summon is not restricted to one species, but all hornets. Now, when I made this, I wasn't expecting anyone else to choose to control hornets(what a coincidence), so I made the summon a blanket summon (much like most summons) So yes, she can summon your hornets.
