Making nests in retractable hose casing and bee hotel. Possibly a Gold-tipped Leaf-cutter Bee - Megachile maculariformis? It has the same coloured orange on it's head as it has on it's tail. Nest holes are stopped with green leaf mulch.

M. Erythropyga, unlike M. maculariformis, has no complete abdominal hair bands. Just a patch on each side of the second segment.
