Osmia ribifloris

Osmia ribifloris
English: This bee,
Osmia ribifloris
(on a
barberry
flower), is an effective pollinator of commercial
blueberries
(because it is blue) and is one of several relatives of the blue orchard bee,
Osmia lignaria
. Similar in appearance, the blue orchard bee is also a successful commercial pollinator that is now being evaluated for use in a wider range of crops. Source:
