20191008 Bicolored Striped Sweat Bee
Photos from October 8 & 9 show renewed mound building activity by a colony of Bicolored Striped Sweat Bees. Throughout September there was some activity with an open entrance being maintained. By this point in October, the behaviour changed with dirt being piled higher in a pyramid and the entrance being plugged. Presumably this was in preparation for winter.
