A strikingly close photo of a small, metallic green bee, likely Augochlora sp., perched on a dense cluster of bright yellow flowers. The bee’s body glows with a mix of green and bluish iridescence. Its legs are fuzzy and slightly dusted with pollen as it grips the flower heads. The wings are held close to the body and lightly veined. Each tiny flower in the cluster has a smooth, bulbous shape with delicate white filaments extending out. Everything is sharply in focus against a soft green-yellow blur in the background. The whole scene feels quiet and intimate, just one native bee doing its thing.
A close-up photograph of a vibrant green bee, likely Augochlora sp., resting on a blooming cluster of bright yellow flowers. The bee's metallic body gleams with green and gold iridescence, and its wings, translucent with a faint purple tint, are neatly folded over its back. Its legs are covered in pale hairs and cling to the small, rounded flowers. Each flower has a smooth yellow surface and a few thin white stamens extending upward. The background is an out-of-focus blend of green stems and soft yellow blurs, giving the scene a lush, summery feel. The image captures a moment of stillness and pollination in progress.
In honor of trying to save the bee lab... you know, that legendary institution working behind the scenes with native bees they just decided to cut the funding of... here’s a native bee I think is maybe Augochlora sp.

Close up of bee resting on human finger in sunshine, with a dark green background. The bee has black antennae and eye on a face with pale brownish hairs. Its thorax has reddish hairs on a dark brown scutum and scutellum. Its wings are folded back over its abdomen, which is dark brown with stripes of yellow-brown hairs on the trailing edges of the tergites. A notable feature of the bee is its legs, which are quite hairy and yellow. In this case the amount of yellow is increased by a large quantity of pollen on its hind legs and, to a lesser extent, its middle legs and body.
As part of an ongoing series of helping insects out of the greenhouse, poly tunnel, etc, here is a rather beautiful Furrow Bee, probably Halictus rubicundus, the Orange-legged Furrow Bee.

A metallic green sweat bee (family Halictidae) is perched on the vibrant yellow petals of a blooming dandelion. The bee's body is dusted with pollen and its fine hairs catch the sunlight. The photo is a sharp, detailed macro shot, showing the flower's texture and the bee's antennae and wings clearly.
The #Halictidae are out in the dandelions. These little pollinators are just emerging from the ground as the weather warms. With few other blooms available, they are seeking dandelions. This is why efforts like No Mow May exist: beecityusa.org/no-mow-may/

Solitary bee, in close up, resting on a green leaf in the sunshine. The bee has orange-yellow legs that are quite hairy. Its abdomen is striped and it's thorax has reddish hairs. It's antennae have a kink.
Halictus rubicundus, Orange-legged Furrow Bee in the garden yesterday. Such a fleeting visit I only managed to snatch a couple of snaps. Hopefully she will visit again, and when she gets to know me she'll let me take her portrait properly.

Metallic green bee clinging to a corn spikelet while it chews through an anther to gain access to the pollen inside. The bee's rear leg is thickly covered with pale yellow pollen grains.
