This means Beesness Day 15, It kicked back off today… Cleo vs the bee 🐝 . The bee came buzzing in like she meant business, and Cleo wasn’t having it. Lots of darting, buzzing, and a bit of brave wing-flapping from Cleo. No one hurt, but plenty of drama. 0:00 /0:13 1×

That's not Cleo 😲 Day 12, a solitary bee showed up today, acting like she owns the place. Cleo got the fright of her life at the first buzz she flew off 🙈. The bee’s still hanging around like she’s moving in. No free stays here.🫢 0:00 /0:11 1×
Missing in action Day 11, Cleo went missing from one o'clock today. She was very busy in the morning but then nothing until six in the evening. I wonder where she was? It was a cold and windy day. 😎 0:00 /0:15 1×
Lap of honour Day 10, during some visits Cleo does a lap of honour and circles the nest she is building. Is this to push down the material or is she just very proud 🥹 0:00 /0:13 1×
100+ Deliveries Day 9, Cleo visited the nest box more than 100 times today. Each visit brought another piece of moss or dried grass - It must be exhausting 😩 0:00 /0:12 1×

Shaping the Nest Day 7, Now it make sense what Cleo is doing. By kicking the moss and grass to the corners she is slowing shaping the nest into a cup. Very cleaver. 0:00 /0:13 1×
Wood pecking Day 6, Cleo is pecking a the entrance hole removing small pieces of wood. We think she does this to make the entrance smooth and to tell other blue tits that this is her nest! 0:00 /0:14 1×
