This kind of bee is solitary. The female does all the work for the next generation. She makes a long cavity in the soil and then lays the first egg. During the day she collects food to put next to the egg, then seals it all with dirt. At a rate of an egg a day, she fills the cavity then starts another. (Elizabeth (Stu) Mehlin)
