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