Really cool, and great pictures. You said on PYPT they were solitary bees, do they still go out and pollinate since they have no hive to return to?

Yes they do, that is probably their most important utility to the ecosystem. They are very efficient pollinators.
They collect pollen and build mud homes in holes, then lay the pollen among larva that eats it and grows into a Bee.
Planning on selling these bee boards once I have an idea of which design the bees like. Though I have a set of them just for you as a gift for all the support over the years.
