Hoping for Anthophora walshii for this chunky bee nectaring on the Baptisia this time of year (latter third of July). However, doesn't seem hairy enough or broadly banded in the abdomen enough.

I observed that the whole 'bubbling' process was more than 5 minutes. And this happened after the bee emerged from the ground nest.

annulatus? Sitting on Pycnanthemum, but not sure if that's the nectar source.
Rainy day, lots of nectar concentrating going on.

Halictid Homalictus sp. bubbling on Yam Daisy near Billywing, Grampians
Identified as Homalictus on Bowerbird by Ken Walker: "I believe I cam see the tufts of scopae on the underturned tergal segment and I can see the slightly sinuate shape of the inner margin of the hind tibia - all Homalictus characters."

Lack of pale marks on mandibles, possibly(?) enough to distinguish from A nubilosellus, as per Michael Batley's notes: https://michaelbatley.github.io/Bee-ID-SH/obscuriceps.htm

Dark, hairy Halictus of some sort? Resting on Tropical Milkweed, working with a hunk of something (petal/leaf?) in its mouth - perhaps sticky or ?

Interesting that this little bee seems to have a bubble of water or nectar in its mouth. The pictures are of the same bee but they are on different plants.

Two-spotted Bumble Bee (Bombus bimaculatus)Observer
kt_woodsDescription
Okay, this is just a rare color morph of bimaculatus similar to this one, right? (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/85420440) Because we're WAY south for rufocinctus, and the only vaguely local bee we have in this shade of rusty red is affinis which is even less of a match.
