to rouse a hornet's nest
to stir up a hornet's nest
to enter a hornet's nest
A hornets' nest is a violent situation or one with a lot of dispute.
If you create the problem, you 'stir up a hornets' nest'.
→Examples:

His comments stirred up a hornet's nest of angry opposition and criticism.
Our guess is that there will be a massive air strike against Iran later this year, and this will either be successful, with both the nuclear facilities and the senior leadership being removed -- or it will rouse a hornet's nest. The risks are huge, but not to take action is probably going to be worse.
