Ours have done this too. Perhaps they are just having a look to see what’s
there?
They only seem to make one hole and then propolise it. I have put another piece
of hessian on top; this prevents the holed cloth from sticking to the quilt box.

Hi
Just doing a quick roof inspection on a Warre populated last year and found
that the bees are chewing through the top cloth, they seem to have plenty of
stores just wondering what causes this (or is it normal). any ideas?....
Best wishes
Mike
