With us its wisteria leaves, if you are close enough to watch the bee in
action, its a most extraordinary noise then they take off using the
piece a
bit like a surf board!

Thanks to those who replied and I'll check the Wisteria tomorrow because
we
have never noticed either that or the Mde Isaac behaviour. Where do they
nest, does anyone know?

ah! that was the problem. With us it was the conservatory woodwork, they
collapsed half of it before I realized what they were up to! huge great
holes they made, Liz did point out the wood must have been on the way out
before they got at it but they were still not my favourite insects of that
year.
