Paul and Cathy Thompson talk about Masonry Bees.

Mason bees are bees in the genus Osmia, of the family Megachilidae. Mason bees are named for their habit of using mud or other "masonry" products in constructing their nests, which are made in naturally occurring gaps such as cracks in stones or other small dark cavities. When available, some species preferentially use hollow stems or holes in wood made by wood-boring insects.

THE VENUE IS New Road Methodist Church

Join the Stourbridge ring road and look out for the signpost for Kidderminster A451 on the overhead gantry and Aldi on your right.

The entrance to the Methodist Church is on your left by the sign for the A451 Kidderminster and the turning is at the very start of the slip road to the A451.

DO NOT park on Aldi's car park, you will be fined or locked in or both. There are a limited number of parking spaces directly outside the church hall.
