I like the acrobat bee in the second picture

22 mm,I got it from a job I did,where they were having a downstairs toilet put in,so the glass needed changing

they are probably fed up of being called out to swarms that turn out to be bumble bees.

I made one using a double glazed unit,I lined the box with some 20mm king span,it gets so hot that I burnt my fingers on the inside of the glass

was gonna reunite a couple of frames of bees in a nuc back into the main hive,so I filled a sprayer with sugar solution ready and when I opened it and checked it there was a queen,I couldn't find her yesterday so I thought maybe they had broken the cell down but she is there now.
