We seemed to have adopted a little bee, Bert as we have named him. Bert has been busily bring little bits of leaves and filling the holes in the brick work with them. Now I know absolutely chuff all about bee's other than the basic and was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to why Bert has been kindly filling the wholes in my wall.

Sounds like it could be one of the Leaf Cutter Bee species (Megachile), as they use the leaves to build their nest.
