Life is full of opportunities to learn. "Gotta learn something new everyday." Here's a bit more: There are about 6000 solitary bees that live on the NA continent. Most of them make small tunnels in the ground, and some carve holes in wood, e.g. trees, posts, etc. The ground dwelling ones on average go about 6 inches deep.

Happy Spring!!
