Pondering stuff someone else has probably already studied

I've sat empty headedly watching the Andrena come and go from their nests. It seems like they will frequently do a fly over, land near by for a few moments do a little more flying around then land at the entrance to the nest and disappear down their hole as quick as they can. On the surface it just looks like they are finding the right little hole. Wouldn't want to get in trouble by walking in on your neighbor. But what if they are looking around for other trouble that might come knocking. It can be a rough neighborhood no mater where you live. Maybe some healthy paranoia is involved too.
