I have these little blackish bees in the outside of the house, I guess

in the wood siding. They seem indifferent to my presence& pretty much
just
go about their business. Do the bees make the holes themselves or do they
just exploit the flaws? Seems like a bee would chew a rounder shape. Are
they very damaging?


I have those little black wasp looking things with white rings around
their tail. They find little holes like nail holes or the screw holes in
hedge clippers. They can barely fit, I know they can't turn around. Looks
like the could only one baby in those nests.

I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.


Sounds like it could very possibly be those, on thinking again they do look
like little wasps of some kind. They don't seem too particular about the
shape of their entry as long as they can cram their little hineys in there.
Until I hear from somebody something like "OMG my wood siding was destroyed
by..." (similar bug), I guess I won't worry too much.
Thanks all & the humor appreciated too.
