Bees under my blueberry bush

Post: # 158887Post foodinistar »

I have a blueberry bush in a pot and have observed solitary bees - or the same bee, I can't tell them apart - taking small pieces of rolled up leaf down a hole into the "soil" (actually a mixture of soil, sand, compost, moss peat and bark chips) at the edge of the pot.

Is this something I should rejoice or worry about? (No plans to repot the bush - ever!)

BTW, there is absolutely no shortage of bees and bumble bees around here!

Thanks Shirley.
especially where the compost has dried out.
Oh, I hope not!
