The insect could be a Mortar Bee. It looks more like a wasp with Bee colouration. They tend to be solitary females that bore into soft rock, earth or weak mortar. They don't swarm and the female lays eggs in spring which hatch in late summer. The offspring tent to create further "galleries" in the brickwork. It is advisable to re point in late summer if you spot any activity to prevent year on year degradation of the wall.
