Masonry Bees

Had one of these dead on my doorstep yesterday. Its extremely long horn, which looked even longer than the one in this picture, looked proper scary. But it's a beefly, which is a fly, not a bee. 12 hours later some scavenger had eaten it.
 
A couple of days ago, we had to remove (from inside the window) the most ginormous queen bumble bee. She was the biggest I've seen in the past decade., easily 2" (40mm) over body length ... too busy getting her back outside to snap a picture, hope she takes up residence locally.
