A couple of unprocessed French bees. This is Lasioglossum albipes. One of the most well studied non bumble non honey bees. Sarah Kocher lent these to us from her many studies, so we could picturate them. While they are your basic brown sweat bee thing, upclose there is a charm in how they are put together. At least I am charmed, that is.

This is likely the last in a series of pictures of Lasioglossum albipes from France very well studied by the Kocher lab.

New Hampshire...The White Mountains...Mount Washington....at the very top is tundra a small remnant of what was more extensive in the cold post glacial times and still harbors arctic species like this Lasioglossum boreale. At this point this is the only location that has had this species in New England.
