David,

        My guess, and it is only a guess as I do not have the bee in front of me.
These pictures are good but do not show all the features needed for a
species ID.  Regardless,  I am proposing that what you have in your photo is
"Agapostemon virescens."  Other possibilities are "Augochloropsis spp." or
Augochlorella spp."
