Wool-carder bee.
This is a species of Anthidium, probably the introduced (from Europe) species, Anthidium manicatum. Females line their nest burrows with plant fibers, fashioning individual cells along the length of the tunnel. Each cell is filled with pollen and nectar as food for a single larval offspring. Hope this helps!
