It is frequently observed in urban and suburban environments where it forages for nectar and pollen. The species exhibits notable sexual dimorphism; females possess a...
Why this score
Metallic green body and striped abdomen make it one of the most attractive sweat bees.
Scoring methodology
The orange-legged furrow bee, Halictus rubicundus, is a ground-nesting sweat bee in the family Halictidae with a broad Holarctic distribution across Europe, Asia, and North America. Females excavate nests in soil and provision brood cells with pollen and nectar. The species is notable for facultativ...
Why this score
Social flexibility across environments makes it a model sweat bee; strong scientific consensus value.
Scoring methodology
Halictus ligatus, commonly known as the ligated furrow bee, is a species of sweat bee found widely across North America. It is recognized for its primitively eusocial behavior, where colonies are founded by solitary queens that rear workers and reproductive females. They typically excavate their gro...
Why this score
Flexible social organization and widespread abundance make it important for social-evolution research, despite modest appearance and occasional taxonomic confusion.
Scoring methodology
Dialictus zephyrus is a small North American sweat bee in the family Halictidae, also classified under the name Lasioglossum zephyrum. It nests in the ground and can form colonies in which a reproductive female is assisted by other females, making it a frequently studied example of primitive eusocia...
Why this score
Well-studied social sweat bee model with complex nests; strong scientific value despite low public fame.
Scoring methodology
Halictus tumulorum is a species of sweat bee found throughout Europe and parts of Asia. It belongs to the family Halictidae and is known for its primitively eusocial behavior, where a founding queen is joined by worker daughters who help maintain the colony. The species nests in the ground, often in...
Why this score
Common primitively eusocial sweat bee with ecological interest; less visually memorable.
Scoring methodology
Lasioglossum pauxillum is a small ground-nesting sweat bee found across Europe and North Africa. Belonging to the family Halictidae, the species is known for its primitively eusocial colony structure, where a single queen initiates a nest in the spring before raising workers to assist in foraging an...
Why this score
Eusocial nesting behavior supports scientific value; modest public awareness.
Scoring methodology
Augochlorella gratiosa is a small sweat bee species belonging to the family Halictidae, widely distributed across North America as a generalist pollinator.
Why this score
Small North American sweat bee, widespread generalist pollinator; useful but not especially distinctive.
Scoring methodology
The Brown-winged Sweat Bee (Lasioglossum fuscipenne) is a species of sweat bee in the family Halictidae. It is part of the Nearctic bee fauna and was described from material associated with eastern Florida, while later taxonomic records place it in the North American genus Lasioglossum. The common n...
Why this score
Communal nesting offers useful social-evolution insight, but subdued appearance, sparse popular coverage, and limited distinguishing traits constrain its reputation.
