reason I learnt otherwise was to get that damned "Ahem...." message.

Yep, thankfully it seems that they are eminently reasonable in their
needs and take neat holes out of rose leaves the world over.  At least
they leave most other things behind.  here. they seem to favour the
holes in fencing posts - you know the ones that are pre-drilled to
take long bolts.  Its quite relaxing to spend an afternoon watching
one of these little creatures busily about their work.  Ah, the
labours of motherhood!
