Loaded with pollen

Leafcutter bee in Lakeside, AZ. These solitary bees dig a tunnel in the soil and construct a long column of cells, each lined with pieces of neatly cut leaves. The female lays an egg in each cell and supplies it with pollen and nectar for the larva to feed on. (Source: Wikipedia)
