Lasioglossum pilosum is a species of sweat bees in the family Halictidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] The species is a generalist and known to pollinate flowers as well as commercial fruits like apples. It is sometimes known to cause a slightly irritating sting, mild in comparison to most other stinging bee species [5]
Halictidae is the second-largest family of bees with nearly 4,500 species. Halictid species are an extremely diverse group that can vary greatly in appearance. These bees occur all over the world and are found on every continent except Antarctica. Usually dark-colored and often metallic, halictids are found in various sizes, colors and patterns. Several species are all or partly green and a few are red, purple, or blue. A number of them have yellow markings, especially the males, which commonly have yellow faces, a pattern widespread among the various families of bees. The family is one of many with short tongues and is best distinguished by the arcuate basal vein found on the wing. Females in this family tend to be larger than the males.
