Yesterday, I noticed a small black bee with very thin white stripes crawl into the round socket of the outlet next to where I plug my laptop in. I was afraid it would get zapped, but it flew off and was a non-event. Today, I realized that it has been coming back and now there's about 1-2mm of yellow granules coming out of the socket. It doesn't resemble any kind of nest I've found online, but it could be that the bee thought the socket was the perfect ready-made nest and is using it as such. It appears to be a single bee coming back every few minutes to add to it and the bee is not bothered by my presence at all. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a leafcutter bee. That said, I obviously need to stop it from doing what it's doing. What's my best bet? Maybe covering the hole with electrical tape?

I try to get her to take it from me... she will turn her head away... and same with almost any treat... if I make her take it, she will then drop it straight on the floor... hmmm what's that about... she will then come back and eat it.. Most *normal* dogs would take the bikky and snap it up in seconds!! She also stares morosely if I give her anything new to try to eat... acts like I am trying to poison her!Anyone else got weird pets? Or is it just me? less

Unless this was when they used to doc dogs' tails and so someone went around collecting all the puppy dog tails? And if the idea is that the ingredients are horrid - surely that's not so with puppy dog tails? Me. I am made of sugar and spice and all things nice :P
