Bee pulls nail from brick - GIF

A bee (possibly a Mason bee) pulls a nail from a brick.

Amazing creatures. I've got 4 top bar hives and they keep their hive clean, but I didn't know they were that strong.

What an amassing show of determination to remove a foreign object from his bee hole. Probably a hive hidden in the wall behind.

Amazing..maybe the nest is behind...or maybe the bee struggles to get free hole for nesting...!!?

We had bees in the corner of our house when we got it I called several people who keep bees most said they didn't want them without even coming out to have a look but a couple did come over the first words out of their mouths was If I were you I'd insure the place as quick as possible and prey that it accidently catches fire some night while all of the bees are on the hive so none can escape to someone's commercial hives. They wanted no part of the strain of bees in my house. It took me a few months of injecting a concoction of DemonXP dawn dish soap DR Pepper and water to finally kill all of them off

Maybe the question should be how did someone just happen video the event. did they just happen by and see a bee busy trying to extricate a nail from the wall or had they seen a bee go into a hole in the brick then placed a roofing nail in the hole only to pass by later to find the hole devoid of the nail or had they just decided to put a nail in a hole without fore knowledge of any bees,and just decided to put a nail in the hole only to later see that it had been removed. Then being the curious sort set up a stationary camera in hopes to learn how the nail was being removed?

I think it could be cladding, not bricks.

I think it could be cladding, not bricks.

Whether it is normal sized bricks or thin ones, they're still bricks and are a veneer or cladding over an existing wall; you can tell by the mortar joints.

Looked to me like he found a bee hole and stuck a nail in it to see what the bee would do.

My best guess is that someone saw a bee entering/exiting from the hole, and stuck a nail in there to plug up the hole. Then somewhere in there they saw the nail removed, and decided to point a camera at it.

Either that, or this bee's wife told him that he'd never be able to remove that nail.
