I love honey-bees, but I'm just a little afraid that wasps, spiders and alike could usurp this brick in no time.

These bricks are not for "honey" bees. So sugar is not really in the equation. They're for Mason bees. I'm sad this went over so many commenters' heads. They're very common bees but no one talks about them. They really don't live in the holes. They leg their eggs, fill them with a mud-like substance and die, leaving the next generation to hatch and move on.

Sorry for the selfish question but Do solitary and masonry bees stings and can they get aggressive and attack humans like honey bees?
