entomologyabby's Identifications

Not sure if this is Osmia? She? foraged on the Clover very fast, and it was impossible to get any decent photos. Her entire body appeared bright metallic blue, which isn’t reflected in these photos.

I am hoping this can be identified. I thought it may be some type of honey bee.

Maybe Spurred Ceratina (Ceratina calcarata)??? Or is it a Sweat Bee?? Seen here on Cowpen Daisy (Verbesina encelioides)

I believe this to be a leaf-cutter bee. It was interested in a patch of damp dirt along with several honeybees and a couple bumble bees.
