Does everyone know of the native blue-banded bee? They're common in Sydney,
as they like to nest in holes in mortar, so you often see them buzzing around
doorways. I have only seen them singly -- until today!

I've only seen them buzzing around the garden, or disappearing into a
hole in weathered sandstone. Never seen them in a group of more than one.

Anyone know what this is about? Mating ritual? Are these bees solitary, or
do they just like pretending that they are?
