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.
How unusual to capture this behavior. Right place at the right time.

If I’d had more time I would have got a crisper shot, but I still like the images.

I’m on the bee’s side and it will certainly do better outside than in.

Not only a clever builder but a colour matcher, too

I know. I rather liked that and wondered if that was why it chose that spot.
