Instinct said Tailed Jay, but am not sure. Avocado plant? 2 pairs of horns on the head?

Saw these Bees use holes on the wall! Did they create the holes? "Wall Bee"?
They were returning periodically, about 4 mins apart. Suddenly they stopped returning.
Why did they stop coming back? The answer could possibly be at https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/109547713

The Leaf-cutter Bees were visiting the holes on the wall, suddenly the visits stopped but I could feel the presence of another bee around! Then I observed them intently watching the holes, waiting for the Leaf-cutter to return I felt - over 45 mins. They made occasional forays towards the holes too!
Could it be the Leaf-cutter Cuckoo Bee, Coelioxys octodentata?

Bee mites? Haven't seen this before. There were 2 individuals that I observed, seen in 3rd pic. Posting the other one which was fully covered in a separate observation

Observed a strange looking Bee, a closer look indicated it was covered by possibly mites 🤔. Initially assumed that it was pollen - am a novice 🙂
