Hi All,

Just small talk.

I asked a farmer customer / friend of mine about
my weird bees. I described their looks and how
they moved at right angles. And how they darted at
you.

He said they are called Mason Bees
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason_bee

And told me they were way better at pollinating than
honey bees. And despite them trying to run you off
their lunch, he has never heard of anyone being stung
by one. Also they don't produce any honey and they
have to be restarted every year in domestication.
