Bee ID - Lasioglossum fuscipenne - Male
Norfolk, Virginia, USA
November 14, 2007
Size: ~12mm
This looks like something in the genus Lasioglossum. There were a large number of these on this plant and they would all disappear and then reappear later. The weather was very warm with temps in the upper 70's and very windy.

The next day.....
a cold front moved through the area and dropped temps down into the upper 40's. Didn't see any more after that. Thank you for the ID confirmation.
