Prunus leaf with sections cut out by leaf-cutting bees

Two newly planted prunus trees in the ash woods, have been heavily visited by leaf-cutting bees (Megachilids). They cut circular sections for nest making and in this case, in the nearby bee nest box. The leaf-cutting bees favour plants in the rose family, of which prunus trees are a member.
