They’re back!

A Leafcutter bee working on a nest in Hawaii

I was at work when I saw this bee buzzing around at the back of the building. Surely they’re not going to start a hive inside, I thought. The bee left, but when it returned I saw it was carrying a bit of a leaf. So, not a hive, but just a Leafcutter Bee nest. Clearly, it thought the hollow tube of a handle on a piece of equipment was ideal for this purpose. It was wrong. I put a piece of tape over the entrance and when the bee returned, it flitted around a bit looking for a way in. Then it disappeared outside, not to be seen again.
