Green Bee Working

June 21, 2017

Summer Solstice

 

A very busy green sweat bee gathering pollen on the first day of summer. These bees get their name because they have a trait of landing on you to lick the sweat.

 

I think it is Agapostemon virescens, but that's only from web pics. If anyone knows for sure, please feel free to offer suggestions!
