Hornet 1, in Greenpath? Yeah, I struggled hard in my first run, and it has been my first boss (as I have used the trick to skip most of the false knight fight).

You have to be patient, don't panick, and dodge most of the time. At first, don't try to attack, just look and dodge for a couple minutes. Only make 1 opportunity attack when you have a clear opportunity, and continue to dodge. You will start to notice patterns and windows to heal.

And eventually beat it. It's one of my best moments in gaming. (never tried a metroïdvania before ^^)

Hornet 1 and 2, i beat 1 on my first try but left the fight with low health, Hornet 2 took me several tries. My best advice, try again and again until you get used to their attack pattern.

A pretty good rule for hornet is when she's in the air try and be grounded, and while she's on the ground, try and be in the air

[Focksbot]

Safe but slow method: stay as far away from her as possible at all times, out of reach of her needle throw. When she jumps and does a diagonal dive attack, run out of the way, turn around and hit her once, then run.

It takes a while, but it gives you plenty of time to catch your breath.

I will quote some of Zote's precepts for this answer:

Precept One: 'Always Win Your Battles'.
Losing a battle earns you nothing and teaches you nothing. Win your battles, or don't engage in them at all!

Precept Thirteen: 'Never Be Afraid'.
Fear can only hold you back. Facing your fears can be a tremendous effort. Therefore, you should just not be afraid in the first place.

Precept Seventeen: 'Believe In Your Strength'.
Others may doubt you, but there's someone you can always trust. Yourself. Make sure to believe in your own strength, and you will never falter.

Precept Nineteen: 'If You Try, Succeed'.
If you're going to attempt something, make sure you achieve it. If you do not succeed, then you have actually failed! Avoid this at all costs.

Precept Twenty-Three: 'Identify the Foe's Weak Point'.
Every foe you encounter has a weak point, such as a crack in their shell or being asleep. You must constantly be alert and scrutinising your enemy to detect their weakness!

Precept Twenty-Four: 'Strike the Foe's Weak Point'.
Once you have identified your foe's weak point as per the previous precept, strike it. This will instantly destroy them.

Precept Twenty-Five: 'Protect Your Own Weak Point'.
Be aware that your foe will try to identify your weak point, so you must protect it. The best protection? Never having a weak point in the first place.

Take those precepts to your heart, and you will win about every fight you encounter ahead. Listen to the other precepts as well, as they are really wise and will aid immesnely on your quest through Hallownest. You can read all of them here:
