Hi Jo12, great spotting. Your bees are males which are known to cling to stems at might. The females live in burrows in the ground. These bees lead a solitary lifestyle, unlike honey bees which are very social. There are some in our backyard which behave just like yours. https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1728116995....
