field bee


Explanation:
I have linked to a document that contains a Portuguese-English glossary:

Here, abelha campeira is listed as a field bee
A worker bee is an abelha operária

However, a field bee is a type of worker bee:
https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/field_bee

So it wouldn’t be entirely incorrect to use the other definition.

forager bee


Explanation:
Over 21 days of age worker bees are called abelhas campeiras in Portuguese and forager bees in English due to the tasks they are responsible for.

Funções executadas pelas operárias de acordo com a idade:
22º dia até a morte: Realizam a coleta de néctar, pólen, resinas e água, quando são denominadas campeiras .
https://www.agencia.cnptia.embrapa.br/gestor/territorio_sisa...


Under normal colony conditions, the forager bees are workers with an age of over 21 days, at which time they shift to perform Out-colony tasks including water, nectar, pollen or resin collection.
