    Last year I had 3 sets of chimes ruined from some kind of bee that blocked up the end of the tube, then after doing all that work, they chewed through the thread and the tube hit the ground. Could this be what you are looking for? Only spotted one once and did not get a good look at it. Checked all my chimes and stuck a rod thru them to get rid of the leaves.

    Leafcutters love Roses, might do some good to grow a few of them around.
