This bee eclosed from a bee hotel but then died. She was given to me June 22, 2023 and I only know that she died before that. Notice threads below body--could a fungus be the reason for her demise?

I think these are all males. “Lek?”

I think I’ve had same Perdita on Pearly everlasting, possibly buckwheat before? This year neither was blooming at this time so my hunch it’s they chose the tallest blooming plant which is a cultivar, slightly double, Mock orange, Philadelphus lewisia ‘???’
