@amenonsen@flipping.rocks I'm not sure what it's purpose is, but the window is sheltered (and I think the only one in the house that doesn't open) so they're probably pretty safe inside.

@ater@flipping.rocks Cool. Our house has hollow brick walls (rather, solid bricks arranged in the rat-trap bond, to leave interconnected hollow spaces in between the outer layers), and some tiny bees seem to have found a way in through weak mortar joints and made a nest on one side of our battery room. It's funny. There's a tradition here (in our general area in the Himalayas) for houses to have a sheltered hollow section under a window for bees to nest in, but that's mostly gone now as old stone houses are replaced. But here is our modern brick house, and the bees demand their shelter anyway. (There's also no way for us to get any honey… but hey, it's OK. I love bees anyway.)
