Carpenter bees like wood they van drill through wood hence their name. Great photo Amy. They can sting over and over.

Leaf cutter bee Amy...Mason bees are a bit furrier and smaller. We get Mason bees in our boxes. We also have bumble bees in one of the hedgehog boxes....strange or what!

Thanks all ,it's good to know who my lodgers are :o)
We have Mason bees in the holes in our brick garden wall Linda I take it the hedgehogs aren't too happy about their home being taken over by the Bees its a good job you have more than one box !

We haven't seen the Hedgehogs for a while now. There are two other boxes for them Amy. I hope that we will get some returning in the near future.
