Augochloropsis metallica
Metallic Green Bee. You can see it's Scopa (located on the tibia) is full of pollen. This pollen is brought back to the nest and made into what is called "bee bread," a mixture of honey, pollen, and secretions from the nurse bees. Once made, bee bread is fed the bee larvae.
