These jewel-like bees are very small yet stand out due to their brilliant colour. They are also called sweat bees as they are attracted to the salt in human perspiration. Not the nicest name for this attractive bee.

They truly are like jewels sparkling in the middle of those marvelous blossoms, Belinda. The green of their bodies is a great contrast to the purple of the flowers!

The name is really not that nice. But the bee and your pictures are particularly beautiful.

Such beautiful photos, Belinda! 😊 I also always thought the name for these pretty bees is a bit unfair.
