That is a beautiful plant wisdomseeker.
Mine do not get curly very often because of out high humidity here I believe.
In winter when the humidity is low and not obvious they seem to curl up a bit like yours then.

The native bees here have wasp predators that lay eggs in the brood and in bees. A vinegar/water trap placed 4 to 5 yards away works a treat. The native bees will bite the leg off a European bee and then it can no longer function.
Yes the entrance to their hive has a smell that protects against predators entering the hive. When you split a hive the spilt honey attracts pests wasps etc
We have so far have not had any trouble. Most of the European bees issue are not the same for our native bees here.
