Female Fine-Lined Sweat Bee

Fine-Lined Sweat bees are not supposed to appear until April, at the earliest. Yet, this female was spotted pollenating a pair of (also early) Dandelions on March, 23, 2026, a few days after Colorado shattered multiple heat records in a row. Female fine-lined sweat bees are only half-green, while males are entirely emerald green. Beyond that, not much is really known about them, because they're just not that interesting (apparently).
