User's notes

Pollinator Survey at Taylor Offset. This is very strange and confusing. As far as I can see, there are three bees in the first two photos. A large bee underneeth and two small ones on top. In the third photo (very bad quality because the flash did not fire) there are only the large bee and one small bee remaining. I hope someone can explain this.

Looks like Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) with two Lasioglossum (Homalictus) on top - males resting maybe.

Not sure what to do with this sighting. Is this behaviour common?
