Hi Peanut, I have found my black bees home! It's a tiny hole in the mortar of an old privy that abuts my garden! I keep going down to watch it come and go....will take camera with me next time.
My goodness, I do have so much still to learn about bees, I am just at the start... All I know really is that I love them to bits! and can spend hours with them.
Gosh better be careful, and NO the privy is no longer in use! it's an office now!
Just re-read my first paragraph.... it sounds very dodgy
