I've never actual mating with native bees before. It was wonderful to witness. The female hopped from flower to flower, and the males followed some kind of scent trail. Then they all balled up together - the female in the flower, and 2, 3 or 4 males on top. The males had whiter faces than the female. I observed it several times over.
