Description:

The vespiary is positioned right under the branch which kept them sheltered during the rain. After the heavy downpour they were all over it again!

The leaves do resemble peepal but these are smaller in size. It is the Rose Wood tree or Sheesham.

I'm not sure about P. olivaceus, it could be P. wattii too.
