Habropoda laboriosa
Habropoda laboriosa, the southeastern blueberry bee, is a bee in the family Apidae.
It is native to the southeastern United States.
It is regarded as the most efficient pollinator of southern rabbiteye blueberries, as the flowers require buzz pollination, and H. laboriosa is one of the few bees that exhibit this behavior. It is active for only a few weeks a year, while the blueberries are in flower in early spring.
