Larvae on a Log

Dear WTB, While I was reorganizing my woodpile, I came across this larvae nest and found it very interesting. I never saw anything like it before. After I took the picture and scraped the nest off of my log, the yellow substance was a really fine powder, kind of like pollen. Do you have any idea what these little worms will turn into?

Possibly Bee Nest provisioned with Pollen

Dear Cheryl,
Please forgive us.  We absolutely cannot research this tonight.  It was a long day (14 hours of teaching, monitoring, attending awards and scholarship presentations, and conducting SLO assessments.  The students actually accused us of being grouchy today.  The end of the semester is rough.  Enough of that.  We believe this is a Solitary Bee Nest and we believe the yellow substance is Pollen.  Time will tell.
