Near Kilkenny in Ireland a house builder opened a sealed pack of cedar  
shingles to roof a building and was surprised when some large bees emerged and  
flew.  I guess that they were some form of 'carpenter bee' that had pupated  in 
the timber during the journey across the Atlantic from, I think,  Canada.  Is 
this the start of a problem?
