I have been watching the victorian kitchen garden and realised this may be a queen bee, the only thing i thought of was the white spot, see the two images.


 could this bee it

Were you joking?
The white spot was put on the queen by the apiarist (beekeeper) so you can easily see her in the pic!  Queen bees do not have a white spot

 thought it was a valid suggestion, but if thats what peeps think I will buzz off

if it was one of those wasps that laid eggs in things it would have a long sting bit at the end for the eggs to be laid. (icuman wasp, i think is what they are called)

wood wasp totaly harmles lays eggs in rotten wood hence its name, well thats my suggestion anyway.
but befenatly not a queen bee, ohh how i wish the queen was born with a white spot instead of me spending hours trying to find her.

In my greenhouse on Weds evening was an ENORMOUS bee-like thing - it was quite long and slender, slow flying about the size of my little finger (yes, my entire little finger - I told you it was enormous!).

It was more wasp-shaped, but the body and abdomen were furry like a bee.

I've never been stung by a Bee but Mum is severely allergic and I take after her in many ways, ergo I was too blooming scared to approach it, so I used my hose to water the toms from outside the greenhouse and beat a hasty retreat, hoping it would be gone the next day. Thankfully, there's no sign of it now.

I think it may have been a Queen Wasp looking for a nesting place, but I don't really know - any ideas?
