Female mason bee nesting in unusual place.
Yesterday I noticed this solitary bee checking out this rawl plug in the back wall. This is a female red mason bee, she is carrying pollen on the side of her abdomen.
This will be food for the bee larvae when they hatch in the spring.
Today the entrace has been sealed, protecting the eggs from predators and weather.
