No return address either

I assume it's because I live in the country, but my letters don't usually get put through my front door. They get put in a post box built into the garden wall nearest the road. Yesterday when I checked my post there was a big dead bee in there. Who would have posted me a bee? It remains a mystery.

Maybe it was a threat. Do you have any enemies?

At least the bee found a nice dark quiet place to die...

Perhaps it mistook your post box for mine, which has a population of small slugs (they eat the stamps off the mail and always return, no matter how often I pick them out and put them elsewhere) and spiders (I leave them where they are, as they're more mobile than the slugs).

The interesting thing here, though, is my post-box is lockable: we have a key, and so does our postman. No one else. So how do the slugs all get in?

And you're sure you didn't mail-order them, Jane? I wonder who could be sending them.

my guess is that someone is trying to create a buzz

Oops. It wasn't dead when I sent it.
