A dark, iridescent Sweat Bee is emerging from a yellow melon flower. The flower is surrounded by fuzzy green buds and leaves, with a softly blurred dark green background.
Yellow petals bright,
Bee cannot resist its charm,
Drawn by sweet desire.

A close-up of a young, green-striped Kajari melon growing on the vine. On the melon is a green iridescent sweat bee.
Striped melon ripens,
Tiny bee walks on green skin,
Sweet fruit, bee's bus stop.

A close-up photograph of a vibrant purple spiderwort flower with three delicate petals and prominent yellow stamens. A small, dark-colored sweat bee is positioned on one of the petals, actively foraging. The flower is captured against a soft, blurred green background of natural foliage, showcasing the intimate pollinator-plant relationship in a natural habitat along Spa Creek in Annapolis, Maryland.

In the Great Sandhills of SK we observed many cool bees, including Lasioglossum pictum, on wild rose. The type series was also caught from rose, though it visits other plants. This colourful little bee also tends to nest in sandy areas. #beesofcanada #sweatbees #macrophotography #sanddunes

These windy, cool days are just no fun for bee observations. March winds, blah, blah, blah. I’m ready for some nicer, warmer weather. #lasioglossum imitatum on #asclepias in my yard in #Mississippi a few years ago.

White, lavender, and plum chives in and out of focus taking up the upper right half the photo, divided roughly diagonally, with the bee vertically oriented, its face and most of its legs buried within the chives, only part of its right eye exposed, along with the right side of its green metallic thorax, black and white abdomen, wings including their tips folded neatly down behind, and its right rear leg, setae-covered, stretching down over the signature toward the bottom right corner.
