Mystery Solved, Chapter 3

The Leaf-Cutting Bee
My friends tell me that I don't use Google enough, and I continue to demonstrate the truth in that criticism. One of my faithful readers (thanks, Dad!) sent me an article on leaf cutting bees. Click there to fine out "he" is a "she," and their activity does have to do with food, nest building, eggs, and continuation of the species. I'll still try to get a photo of a bee cutting the leaves because there isn't really good a color rendition of this bee at the link, but at least the mystery is solved! Just goes to show, if you're in the right place at the right time, you might get the answer to a question you've had bumping around in your head for awhile! (see Mystery Solved below.)
