Lasioglossum mellipes
sweat bee
Lasioglossum mellipes is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae, first described by Crawford in 1907. It belongs to the largest genus of bees, which comprises over 1,700 species. Like other halictids, it is commonly encountered in bee monitoring studies using bowl traps, though such methods may not accurately represent its true abundance or ecological role.
