These bees are so fascinating to observe, which is way I take so many photos of them! The first time you hear them crunching out of their cocoons, you'll be hooked. You'll watch them haul mouthfuls of mud and nectar, see their fuzzy bellies covered with yellow pollen, observe the way they back into the nesting straw to lay an egg, hear the loud buzzing if another insect enters their nest, witness the precision with which they cap a straw with mud -- and you'll never have to worry about being stung!
