Abstract

Halictidae is a large group with more than 3,500 species found worldwide. They are called sweat bees because they are attracted to people's sweat. In this study, Halictus hedini hedini Blüthgen, 1934, belonging to Halictidae, is reported for the first time in Korea. Description, distribution, and illustration of this species are provided.
