Hi all, I have seen what appears to be a bee coming and going from our letter box and over the course of 2 weeks it has built this little home. We have stopped using it as we do not want to disturb. Any ideas what this could be, I've never seen anything quite like this before. flic.kr/ps/3UTkMCHope the link above works, I am hopeless with Flickr Many thanks Gavin |

Any shots of the insect itself?

Hi thanks for your message. Not at the moment but I can see if I can catch it going in at some point. I've seen it twice and to my inexperienced eye it looked like some sort of mason bee perhaps.

It is one of the potter wasp family but you need to get a photo to identify the species
