Ya know, the local bee keepers round here have been having trouble with the mites killing there hives. I assumed these are all wild bees. I have checked it several times since the "episode" and have not found one!

Here's some more pics for those with interest.

Are they dusting themselves with the osage dust? Maybe it is a miticide!

I wouldn't be surprised if it served more than one of the functions everyone has discussed.  Such incredible little creatures and those pictures are great, I love that first one!  Thanks for posting.
