In the middle of June bees swarmed Loders playground in the middle of playtime. Luckily, no one was injured.

A couple of weeks later some holes appeared in the ground. Mr Kite (the head of Loders primary school) had to investigate if the bees or wasps would harm any one. It were thought that that the holes would contain eggs and they were a certain species of miner bees or wasps.

Because Mr Kite didn’t know if they were wasps or bees, he cut off the area where the wasps were. A couple of days later, Mrs Buckland caught one of the wasps and tried to identify the wasps, but it was no use. Next we tried to send some e mails to some people who know a lot about insects, but still it didn’t work. There was only one thing that they could do and that’s to call the environmental health officer. 

The environmental health officer later identified them as ‘solitary bees.’
