The colony of Bicolored Striped Sweat Bees observed during 2019 has made a return in 2020. The Bees overwintered with mounds capped over until mid-May, by which time a couple of small holes could be seen at the mound surface. During the following weeks, the Bees created other mounds with one of the new ones becoming the dominant and most heavily used nesting site.
