Objectif(s): To collect specimens of bees that belong to the subgenus: Evylaeus (Family Halictid)

Description du projet: The researcher and his team will collect specimens of bees that belong to the subgenus Evylaeus (Family Halictid), which are small "ant-like" bees sometimes called "sweat bees." The researcher would like to determine how they are related to the European species, which, unlike the Evylaeus, are social in their behaviour. This study may shed some light on the evolution of social behaviour in bees.
