No secrets Andy. You are lucky to have them nesting nearby. It means they are also roosting nearby, probably on thin stalks (as you see in a few of the photos, otherwise is rare) that have some shelter from the elements (but not necessarily) and where there is a food source - flowering native plants are best but blue is an attractant for them - nearby. One thing bees need to get going in the morning is heat from the sun so they will roost where they can catch the first rays.

What is the situation for the digging? On a sheltered slope? Clay, sandy - what kind of soil and situation?
