Last year I had mystery bees coming and going from an unused compost bin. Took photos and showed them to an etymologist. He identified them as chocolate mining bees (no, no chocolate is being mined). I was pleased to see them hanging out in my garden. I keep a few corners of rough ground with piles of sticks etc to offer shelter for bumblers and others; it was funny to see these bees deciding the bin was better.
