As long as it doesn't 'settle' in your house - I should say you're honoured!!
Some Bees are becoming an endangered!!.

Are you sure it's the Queen Dizzi? If so, I would be getting rid of it as soon as possible in case the whole bee community comes swarming into my house looking for a place to nest!

LOL Berona - I thought that too - but if it was looking for a nest - a whole loadof drones would follow it!
It may be a solitary bee, in which case even if it does nest, it won't cause much harm.

I had a couple of solitary wasps nest in my shed, and was left with two of the most beautiful structures hanging from the roof. They look like tiny chinese lanterns - about an inch wide by an inch long.

I like bumble bees, a lot of bees have been dying recently and we rely on them so much. I wish I had the land and bravery to have a hive.
