In a scientific paper published in 2021, the behavior of Concentrating Nectar had been documented in 51 genera of bees. I personally have added three more genera to the current list which continues to grow as more observers on iNaturalist.org contribute to the ongoing project. This is an example I captured at Torrey Pines this month (July 22, 2024). This is a Tansy Mustard Sweat Bee (Lasioglossum sisymbrii).

"Nectar concentrating has various purposes, including preparation for long-term storage in hives, modification before adding to larval provisions, removal of excess water for efficient storage in the crop, thermoregulation, and potentially for nest construction." - Portman (2021)
