Megachile frigida
Thanx so much for this very prompt respone, John, for the ID and correction. The pupal casings which were found along with the bees seemed to be made of, or partly of, leaves - leaf venation is visible. This is an interesting bee for this province perhaps as E-Fauna BC does not have it listed as a BC species. Again, thanx for help.Bryan
