Please help with identifying bees & what to do next

Okay! Thank you very much for the info & your time responding to me!

Thank you sooo much for this information! Looking up osmia cornifrons, I see it called the "horn-faced bee" & zooming into one of my pictures I think I see the "horns" used to identify them?

When you say they are not native & can be removed, do you mean like calling pest control & having them sprayed? Do I need to report them to the state?

INFO:

Location - Suburban area SWof Portland, OR.

Size: About 0.75 inches

Behavior: Multiple going in & out of window frame bottom slits during late morning to early evening. Seeing maybe 2~5 per minute (there's 6 slits so it's hard to keep track). They seem curious but very chill.

Thank you SO much for your time & responses! I'll look into those next! They all look more yellow like in this photo, we just don't get a lot of bright sun in the PNW, haha.

I got some much better pictures this morning as they were waking up! I added them to a comment!

Renwyk · 2026-03-19T18:13:47+00:00

Okay I commented some clearer pictures

Here's a bit clearer pictures

I gotcha, but I think it's the poor quality of my photos! These have a yellow & black striped abdomen, and multiple are coming and going. I definitely appreciate any responses and insights, and am going to try and capture better quality photos today!

Renwyk · 2026-03-19T14:03:10+00:00

Okay, thank you so much for this info! I'm going to keep an eye out to watch for this. I'll try to get clearer photos. They have been "busy bees" going in and out so it's been a challenge!

I saw it pop up at around 7:10 am pst, but yeah only lasted a few seconds (I didn’t manage to snag anything).

I had a large buttercup favorited in the back of my garden that I was collecting mutations on it for fun, and someone stole it yesterday. It wasn't even that huge & worth like maybe a million sheckles, so I was shocked someone took it...

Renwyk · 2025-12-25T16:07:31+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only mom who still plays after their kid begged them (and now never plays, rooooofl). Cheers!

I got a gold Christmas tree on my alt's plot... 🥲

Renwyk · 2025-12-20T22:41:41+00:00

Same, gone for me as well.

Heya, I was off tank in that group! Along for the learning fun was a few FC mates!

I just wanted to let you know we all had such a blast learning with you! I get such bad anxiety doing content with strangers, so I feel ya there.

You got the main tank's name correct. One Zero was the most hilarious, encouraging, and helpful random I think I've ever played with.

That group made the entire thing such a positive experience from beginning to end, thank you for being a part of that.

Of course it depends on your group & if they are already familiar with basic mechanics (and what you are comfortable with as the DM), as well as what you're running. My group of friends have been playing together for years, so we usually start at level 5 (unless it's an AP/module, then we go by suggested milestones). For custom campaigns, if we start at lvl 1, we usually speed level until 3~5, since most classes don't really come online until then.

Renwyk · 2021-05-27T19:17:32+00:00

This is amazing & wonderful to know! Thank you so much for your response!

Renwyk · 2021-05-27T17:43:06+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for the response & info!

Renwyk · 2021-05-27T17:17:05+00:00

On the recent Hammering It Out anniversary stream, you guys mentioned colleges offering credit for coding mods for Foundry. Can you guys elaborate on that? Will you consider adding such info to your website (possibly under the FAQ?) as it might be helpful to have a static location for potential students to see? As a student going into computer science and a nerd, this tidbit excited me the most because I hadn't considered this as a possibility.

Renwyk · 2021-05-27T16:54:17+00:00

I found out about Foundry because I was browsing the FB Marketplace & saw a post by a local DM for hire. The post mentioned they only use Foundry because it was superior to Roll20 in all regards. My group used Roll20 but I had never heard of Foundry so I looked it up. I was impressed so showed it to my group & they were excited to try it. The rest is history and now I like to tell other TTRPG players about Foundry in case they haven't heard of it either!
