There are many Lasioglossum species and identification is usually difficult without close examination.Therefore I am unsure of this particular species but the sight of numerous bees coming going at their nest site on a sandy but grassy bank of my local pond was a treat.
Despite being a solitary bee the Lasioglossum excavate their individual nest holes in loose colonies and hence can be known as mining bees or sweat bees.
