You might see them patrolling bee hotels waiting for a female to chase down. When the females emerge a little later, they mate and then begin their work provisioning nests with pollen balls and eggs. An individual female has a short lifespan living only about 20 days, but in this time, she may provision anywhere from 2 to 7 nest holes each containing many offspring cells.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sare.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How_to_Manage_the_Blue_Orchard_Bee.pdf\">1<\/a><\/sup> Quite the busy bee!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Andrena is a genus of mining bees that are some of the earliest risers when it comes to spring emergence.
