Watched this bee excavating pith from the stalk of a live goldenrod. Concave gray-tipped T6 and deep tergal grooves raise intriguing possibility of M. montivaga. Will monitor and see if she brings leaves or petals back to nest!
Update: my wife and I saw a bee exiting this hole the following day. That bee is shown here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/86512511

Dozens of these in a large sandy area flying close to the ground. The area was scattered with holes in the sand, both level with the ground and in cones. Appeared they could have recently emerged from these borrows.

Exhibiting nest-searching behavior: flying low in vegetation, crawling around on ground. Briefly appeared to be feeding from Glechoma flowers.

On sunflower. I can’t find any bumble bees that are known to be in Alberta to have this colouration. The closest one in Alberta would be Bombus insularis, however, this bumble bee looks very similar to Bombus variabilis!

This bumble bee has rusty coloring, could someone help confirm whether it is a rusty patched bumble bee?

Saw quite a few different individuals all in the same area digging burrows in hard-packed earth along a trail next to the Arkansas River. They were all performing the same behavior- excavating stones/dirt from their holes and bringing down small twigs or dried pieces of grass. I watched these bees for hours just working away at their burrows. They were also surprisingly picky with their grass/twig selection, sometimes investigating 10+ pieces before finally settling on one fit for the nest.

Nesting in base of blooming red yucca flower spike.
Don’t tidy the spikes up at the end of the summer!

billrod9תיאור
I took some large elderberry (Sambucus) branches that were laying on the ground since last fall, cut them to 2-3 ft. lengths, stuck them in the ground and within a week bees were excavating tunnels in the pithy centers (this branch is only 3/8 inch diameter, 11 inches off the ground to the top). Too hairy for Ceratina, lacks Hylaeus markings, pretty hairy for Lasioglossum too, but the mandible area has some orangish coloration, so Osmia is my best guess. Thanks to Michael Mesler for the suggestion.

Noticed a hole near the base of a thriving red yucca bloom spike and waited. Out popped a head! She made a round trip about every three to five minutes. So delighted to have spotted her!
