This was nowhere near their nest ,Wendy spotted the bee moving it from the path onto the grass .
We do have a nest in another part of the garden though .

It’s a bumblebee wax moth larva that the bee is clearing away.

Astonished there are different wax months for different bees - suppose I shouldn’t be.
