NPR article on solitary bees

I thought I would share this article on a somewhat recently discovered bee, that instead of building giant hives, these bees live alone and make small nests out of flower petals and nectar which is the home for a single egg until it is an adult.





Here is a link to the article in case anyone is interested:
