User's notes

We purchased this 'bee motel' a couple of years ago, and this is the first time I've noticed its use. I am unsure if this is bee or wasp? I think at least two species are using the abode. There is a lot of echoey buzzing from within each tube when an adult flies in - I assume to feed.
