Bee

Bees are winged insects closely related to wasps and ants, known for their roles in pollination and, in the case of the best-known bee species, the western honey bee, for producing honey.

See Lasioglossum and Bee

Dialictus

Dialictus is a subgenus of sweat bees belonging to the genus Lasioglossum.

See Lasioglossum and Dialictus

Eusociality (Greek εὖ eu "good" and social) is the highest level of organization of sociality.

See Lasioglossum and Eusociality

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Lasioglossum and Genus

Halictidae

Halictidae is the second-largest family of bees (clade Anthophila) with nearly 4,500 species.

See Lasioglossum and Halictidae

John Curtis (entomologist)

Kleptoparasitism

Kleptoparasitism (originally spelt clepto-parasitism, meaning "parasitism by theft") is a form of feeding in which one animal deliberately takes food from another.
