Not very good photos!
Excellent, thank you,Looks like some sort of mason bee. They are solitary and this is how they reproduce. They find a hole, lay eggs and pollen inside, and plug it up with mud. Single honey bees would not be able to do this. I'm not sure what species you have in Portugal, but it definitely looks like a solitary bee.
Thanks, we're going to try a bee hotel outside the garage and see what she does next 😯We have a bee house like the one Major posted. We keep it under the eave of our house and the solitary bees love it. It's protected from the rain so from the activity is a great spot.
Your chainsaw may be out of use for a while if you don't want to harm the larvae inside - at least until they emerge. You could certainly put out some wood with various sized holes drilled in it and place a few around your property to keep them off your chainsaw. Perhaps find a place like mine where they won't need to be moved and can be protected from the elements.
😂😂😂Gotta say. I love that bee. In my world I would find another way to cut wood and let the bee have what it wants. And buy it another choice of home.
Hi, yes, we are making a bee hotel 👍Gotta say. I love that bee. In my world I would find another way to cut wood and let the bee have what it wants. And buy it another choice of home.
