Small carpenter bee (Ceratina mikmaqi)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

This bee is very tiny, and the next image shows it next to a sweat bee on the same flower. I was pretty sure it was a Ceratina, but not sure which species. Thanks to Bug Guide I have discovered it is Ceratina mikmaqi, a relatively newly described species, according to the USGS Native Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab.
