A good pollinator in the garden? Please help I.D. I see these type of 'bees' in the garden in abundant. I'd love to know it a bit better? Thanks.

These are small solitary bees in the family Halictidae. Commonly called 'sweat bees', some species are valuable pollinators. See http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/sweat_bees_halictidae for some examples.
