Halictus ligatus is a species of sweat bee from the family Halictidae, among the species that mine or burrow into the ground to create their nests.[1] H. ligatus, like Lasioglossum zephyrus[2], is a primitively eusocial bee species, in which aggression is one of the most influential behaviors for establishing hierarchy within the colony,[3] and H. ligatus exhibits both reproductive division of labor and overlapping generations.[3]
