    Or you might get hornets, they go for empty nestboxes.

      It'd be no issue to tape over the hole and relocate the stump, in that event.
      Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
      By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
      While better men than we go out and start their working lives
      At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

          I found a nice bit of clayey subsoil to do the trick. I'll just have to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get washed out.

            We are lucky and get a lot of different bees here. I think they like that our garden has a quite a few stretches of mountain stone old dry walls?
            Anything is possible with the right attitude, a hammer
            and a roll of duct tape.

            Weeds have mastered the art of survival, if they are not in your way, let them feed bees
