Seen it coming in, body like 1 cm, abdominal part looked entire bright yellow, on second look at photo, possibly wrapped with polen. Loc.: NW slovenia.

Any thought ? Edit: Ceratina maybe ...

Resin, fine gravel, and pieces of wood: probably a bee Heriades sp. (Megachilidae) or wasp Passaloecus sp. (Crabronidae). Yellow belly with pollen: likely the Heriades bee.
