I think after looking at Bug Guide that this is a sweetbee, possibly Lasioglossum (?) Anyone know for sure, be cool to know.

Anyway, Not the best images, and these are so small and never stop wiggling, lol. They came out OK.

Canon 50mm 2.5 with +4 hoya.

Thanks for looking
Bruce

Actually it's sweat bee. Believe they got their name because they are attracted to salty human perspiration. Interesting, huh?

LOvely captures - pretty useless on bees but it might be Halictus sp.
