Christy -- Thanks for supplying these urls. Very informative! Also
thanks to all who have contributed their own knowledge and experiences.
I would add just this: The leafcutter bee can give a heck of a sting. I
once fired several arrows into a target I'd set up on a creek bank -- and
into an unseen nest of leafcutter bees. One stung me on the temple, and the
impact knocked me down.
