Marty and Karen:
Thanks for being my encyclopedia. Knowing how few species of bees produce honey and their various roles in pollination sensitizes us to nature's network and to ecological fragility.

I was wondering the same thing. I found this article on the NC extension site: https://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/ent/notes/O&T/lawn/note100/note100.html.Several possibilities - here's an excerpt:There are many common species of solitary bees that nest in individual holes in the ground. They are all good pollinators. These bees range in size form 1/2 to 3/4 inches and may be a variety of colors such as blue, green, copper or metallic reddish-brown. They may belong to one of several groups of bees such as the membrane bees, digger bees, sweat bees, mason bees and leafcutter bees (Colletidae, Halictidae, Andrenidae, Anthophoridae, Megachilidae) and occur across the state.- KarenOn Fri, Feb 24, 2017 at 12:54 PM, Rob Cook <crookkohler AT bellsouth.net> wrote:So what species are they?Nice pics Ryan.Rob_________________________________________PLEASE get pictures, if you go.What are native bees?How have they avoided mixing with the immigrants?WL
