poor phone screen shot from video I tried to get- will try for better pic next time I see her.
Located in Kauai, Hawaii.
Makes small mud tubes, much smaller than the looks of the "mason bee tubes" I have seen for sale for the mb houses. about the size of a pencil. bee looks pretty big tho im surprised she fits in the tube. I made her the bamboo nest but she much prefers making tubes inside of left out clothing / tents in my storage area. I have collected a few closed off mud sections and placed them into the bamboo for safe keeping/ promote living there- but I wonder if the bees emerge in spring or sooner during year round warm weather...
What kind is this?!
but it looks like a Honey Bee to mee.
same colour pattern, body shape etc...and the eyes look like a drone from what I can see in the pic,
can't say for sure till you get better pics, that image is not good.
In Cali we had sand digger bees that looked similar.
Perhaps a mson bee then?
Hint: You're gonna need a much better picture
