    Don't Sweat It

    "Sweat bees" are what we always called them growing up. I'm sure there is a better, more fitting common name for them.

    I was shooting these guys today, a couple dozen shots and I think I may have two keepers, LOL .

    We just called them teeny flies. I think they're a hoverfly of some sort.

    Very cool. Growing up my dad always called them sweat bees and that is what I still call them.
