Nesting in alluvial floodplain of major river in vertical sand banks. 25+ nests but likely more. Nest entrances were flying saucer shaped/elliptical. Males were seen attempting to enter nests. Females were returning to nests at 4:30 PM with pollen loads. When encountering me some would land on vegetation before making the flight to their nests.
Will be following this aggregation in 2023. Specimens were collected for further identification.
maybe P. octomaculata?

Aggregation discovered in loose xeric soils. No Ilex glabra in bloom. Must be using Vaccinium arboreum or V. myrsinites or Lyonia lucida. Bee is 2 months earlier than Norden et al's observations.
