VERY cool Hylaeus!!
Definitely a yellow-masked bee in the genus
Hylaeus
--but a REALLY cool one!! There are only a handful of species with a reddish abdomen. This is likely
Hylaeus volusiensis
, which is an endemic bee in southeastern Florida.
Key here:

yes, it is very cool but I don't think it's volusiensis
Instead I think it's Hylaeus (Hylaeana) graenicheri:

Note in particular the pronotum
Please do not move to species pages based on a "likely" speculative determination
