@duluthralphie , you actually have to purchase a queen and some drones and bring them into your hive. The native bees do not colonize, they are loaners. I had heard that they can displace the native bumble bees or those small bees (forget the name) I think I read it in one of my bee books. Now, trying to find an article today, I see many articles that say yes, and some no. so I guess I need to do more research.
@memphis yes, I also have made a pollinator house, gonna make some more, I love my bees all over the dandelions and clover!
hence why I don't want them to go away.
