looking forward to your reply.

This website has amazing info on this solitary bee http://www.moraybeekeepers.co.uk/solitary_bees.htm
Is the queen stil working on the nest or has she plugged it and left?

Some years ago I had rat tail cacti hanging in the ridge of a long greenhouse. The nest entrance was through the drainage hole, the nest is in the shape of a cigar. They came and went as they pleased, doing their own thing all over the estate, year after year.
