The more we observe, the more we discover creatures we didn't know about before.
That is some feat -to burrow into limestone. Sandstone would be so much easier. Yes it shows how hard those little bees have to work, and that's before they start their ordinary job! Good catch! It is actually sandstone.
There are bees here who live in buildings. I have seen a few bees coming and going from my stone wall. It seems they get through areas where the old Victorian mortar has natural pits and holes. Sometimes, if everything is very quiet, and I put my head just inside the fireplace (when it's not lit -of course!), I hear a distant humming from somewhere well behind the fireplace, within the wall.
