Bee making additions/modifications to a turret capped nest in the ground.
The 8 pictures fall into a sequence of about 15 minutes.
In the 15 minutes this bee made about 3 trips collecting water.
As a group the pictures give some pretty good alternate views of this bee.
Many hibiscus in bloom at the edge a pond about 10 feet from this turret.
About 10 turrets near this one.
