Masonry Bees?

One or two people have said that we have a bees nest in the new soak-away. However on closer examination it looks as if they are collecting clay for their nest and are burrowing into the clay to collect. Kathy Sweet reckons they are masonry bees. Difficult to capture on photograph, but you might be able to see a honeycomb effect at the bottom of this photo.

Have now planted out 4 types of tomato, Golden Sunrise, Alicante, Money Maker and F1 Big Boy!, 6 plants of each. 3 Sweet Pepper Rainbow in a bag plus another 3 in pots and 3 each of 3 types of chilli peppers in bags. There are also some cucumber plants awaiting planting out. We have six tomato "grow pots" on trial this year, but apparently it is not advised to fill the outer reservoir for 2-3 weeks after planting in order for the water roots to develop properly.
