It is a pretty intricate structure. We want to see what emerges from this nest so I rolled the structures back up, this time using newspaper. The roll will go into a screen box and we'll wait to see what comes out. I'll keep you posted.

Yes. They are out early this year. Redbud leaves are probably among the mix.
Hi,
I love your photo of the leafcutter nests -- might you be willing to let me use it on an interpretive sign at the SC Botanical Garden at Clemson University? (I'm doing a series of signs on native bees). I'm a fellow blogger, too, btw.
Thanks!
Hi Lisa,
Yes, you may use the photo. If you are required to do so, please credit the photo to Signa Williams.
