And, they are so cute, busily working to help us. (Maxwell's demons were likely inspired by bees).
Anyway, I have a big organic wildish garden, & I notice a big variety of pollinators (as large as my thumb almost, in orange or black, to as small as grain-of-rice size, banded & hovering). Yes, commercially, we rely too much on one species, but at least in Silicon Valley, I do notice we have a diversity of pollinators healthy & thriving, just as we have a diversity of smart people from around the world doing the same. If only those engineers could make honey. (Actually, never mind about that. I do NOT want your honey, only the bees please)

They prefer being kept near muddy/mucky ground. http://www.parentmap.com/article/keeping-mason-bees-10-expert-tips-for-families http://www.parentmap.com/article/keeping-mason-bees-10-exper...
