More Leafcutter Bee Mischief

This afternoon I stopped by my mom's house and learned that the wonderful watering wand we gave her for mother's day was no longer spraying! I tried blowing air through it and it was stopped up for sure. Upon disassembly, the problem was found to be a leafcutter bee's nest.
These bees are really looking for trouble! First they attack my scented geranium flowers, and then they plug up my mother's watering wand. Hardly the work of beneficial insects!
