Just the ordinary honey bee gone feral. They usually build in a more sheltered spot, tree hollow or besser block wall. Bee careful as they sting like

If you're game you can smoke them out and grab some of the honey/honeycomb!

Its just outside the old Army / RAAF hangers in town , in very old Bottlebrush Trees that would have been planted decades ago .
I thought they looked like European Bees but the body is more triangular than round . Other half has no fear and said he would get some honey if I want ...me thinks just looking at it is just nice .
