Can you hear me buzzing by?
I'm super small and sometimes mistaken for a fly!
Whizzing and whirling around with my baskets full of pollen, I'm always ready to help magnificent melons, beautiful berries and cool cucumbers grow.
I'm a native Australian bee and am well liked by humans, as my sting doesn't hurt.
So please don't take ages...

Did you know the classification for a Lasioglossum Bee?
The Classification of a Lasioglossum Bee is "Hymenopterans".
You could also say the Classification of this type of bee is an "Insect".
This bee does pollination by getting pollen seeds from a flower and placing those seeds in another spot so that more flowers can grow.
It's interesting that a Lassioglossum Bee actually has two different types of Classifications!

Have you ever seen a Lasioglossum Bee?
The appearance of a Lasioglossum Bee is that they are usually black, though some have orange or red abdomens.
The Lasioglossum Bees belong to the "Halictidae" family. Lasioglossum Bees belong to a family... just like you belong to a family! This means they don't live alone, like most other bees.
When this bee does pollination it gets thickly covered with yellow sticky pollen, but after the bee plants the seeds the pollen magically disappears!
It is like magic!

Where can you find a Lasioglossum Bee?
The Habitat of a Lasioglossum Bee is that they usually nest in burrows in the ground. Normally just one of the female bees constructs each nest, but sometimes a group of females will share a nest.
Lasioglossum Bees are mainly found in New South Wales, but can sometimes be found in South Queensland or North Victoria.
Make sure next time you are in one of these places see if you can spot a Lasioglossum Bee!

What do Lasioglossum Bee's like to eat?
The diet of a Lasioglossum Bee is pollen and nectar. The bees get pollen and nectar from the flowers they fly onto.
As they do pollination, they go to another flower and suck the pollen and nectar from that flower. The pollination process happens again.
They also make honey themselves with the left over pollen they have on them, after they have done pollination to a flower.
They are fascinating creatures!
