The first photo shows the bee sealing the nest , the next ones shows that it has been tagged by those "pollen stick on tags" it looks as if a human has put them there as it fits the bee perfectly...amazing

This is the third time I have seen these. They appear to be some sort of Agapostemon not previously recorded from Florida. I have also noticed a few iNat observations of them (linked) and am wondering how I could try to key them to species? I have lots of other angles if necessary for ID. There were dozens together in a flower bed.
Here are the other observations that I believe to be the same species:

Comment by Connal Eardley, the world expert on SA Bees, ' The little bee with white stripes on the abdomen is Afranthidium. I cannot do it to species level because the genus has not been revised.'
