The reign after the rain

The rain has finally stopped but during all of the downpours the bees at the insect house have been fully industrious and have completed several compartments or chambers. I noticed that one of the bamboo canes had been sealed with a bright green leaf and finally tracked it down to a golden leafed fuchsia pictured below. They cut carefully in a circular motion as though they have a measuring tool because magically the cropped circles expertly tailored from leaf after leaf - perfectly fit the bamboo canes.

This bee is sealing the leaf to the edge of the cane ... round and round she travelled her mouth against the edge of the hole in the bamboo cane. I am assuming that this bee is probably the queen as she is slightly larger and plumper or broader than the others. (Leaf cutter bees.)
