By 3pm condo-2 remains at 14 filled bee cocoon tubes.
Interestingly, one bee tube is nearly 1/2 in diameter. The bee has been working on it furiously for at least a week. I decided to name her Ma Kettle. She is noisy and really busy. Actually, she is nearly finished with the tube.
There are another 4 bees which are also very busy. I am surprised their nests are as yet not filled. I notice that when they return to their nests they typically return as a group. While they are supposed to be a "solitary bee", they do seem to have some limited social behaviors.
