Aster Mining Bee (Andrena asteris)Observer

The other day I noticed a bunch of mining bees in the Buxton Forest. It was a bit like whack-a-mole trying to photograph them and I gave up. Then I found some in my yard and so I managed to get this shot by patiently waiting for the bee to return to her nest. Isn't she cute?

Original observation here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65612520
The wool on the galls has shriveled up quite a bit since collecting. Several galls have visible exit holes now, but not larvae or wasps in the container. I cut into one that had larva in it, so I put them all back in the outside cage.
