NewScientist The Last Word

I found this (see photo) 6cm long nest hanging beneath an old, large branch of fuschia in my parents' garden. What built it? Thanks, Jon. I wanted to rate your latest with umpteen stars but somehow can't get beyond a measly one, which is a bit hard on you after such an informative answer. Lost wax indeed...

Reply	Jon-Richfield says: Thanks for the compliment Alison, and pardon my chuckles. This blog is full of surprises and has tripped and trapped several of us repeatedly. You are of course too kind and this time the blog was right in awarding the single star; I really did boob big time. Fortunately I am by now somewhat philosophical about that sort of thing. All the best, Jon (no votes) Tags: insect, honeybee, comb, beeswax.
