The Symmorphus bifasciatus wasp had finished laying her eggs, provisioning them and sealed them inside their cells. Her eggs were safe. The jewel wasp (a solitary bee pest) was busy looking for an opportunity to lay hers!

ee my new Registered Design award winning solitary bee box and bumblebee nest box both of which are radical, practical and educational, offering them a safer nesting environment in which you can observe the bees. Great for schools!
