Sweat bee (Augochlora)?

Reveler Conservation Area

This may be in the genus Augochlora. There were 4 or 5 of these bees underneath a log in the woods, and they appeared to be getting ready to hibernate. Females in the genus Augochlora, and perhaps other sweat bee genera too, spend the winter underneath logs.
