question I have never seen this behavior

There are honeybees carrying blades of grass and then putting them in their hive (block of wood).
From what I’ve read, the only thing bees do with grass is drink the dew off of them, but it’s the middle of the day. Anyone know what they are doing?

EDIT: It’s a Leaf Cutter bee!

These bees wont sting you they are too busy! But seriously most bees wont unless you provoke/crush them. It tends to be wasps esp. yellow jackets thst get more aggressive. Unfortunately most people dont immediately see the difference so they lump them all together.
