I have noticed a lot of activity from leaf-cutter bees this year and am wondering whether they are pollinators. I never see the bees themselves I just observe their work.

Wikipedia says they are the most efficient of all pollinators because they have to visit a plant (on average) ten times as frequently as other bees, to get the same amount of pollen.
