Green Metallic Sweat Bee on Flowers. On a sunny day a tiny green metallic sweat bee glistening in the sunlight foraging on cosmos.

Green Metallic Sweat Bee on Flowers.

We have planted a lot of cosmos flowers on the farm specifically for the bees. Providing them with food, for them to continue breeding. All the species of bees play an important part in pollination for many vegetables and flowers and other crops on the farm.

A few different species of sweat bees are found here in Ecuador south.

Bellow’s photo is showing you the metallic face and you can see the eyes and all the pollen on its legs.

This little bee is so tiny but was taking its time on the cosmos flowers foraging.

Diving deep into the flower and pollen collecting on its legs and lower body.
