This small cuckoo wasp, Trichrysis cyanea ^{[1, 2]} is a regular visitor of the bee hotels in the garden. The species is clearly a minority around the other Cuckoo wasp species and often only one specimen at the time is present.

UPDATE 2022/vi/10

Since the previous observation more specimen visit the bee hotels every year and they can be found elsewhere in the garden as well.
