that's neat wm, some of those little sweat bees can be on the ornery side and also give me a pretty good welt when they nail me.

Beekeepers should learn about these little guys too.  Many of the native bees are much more efficient pollinators than our Apis mellifera.  Some species of plants require "buzz" pollinating that can only be done by some of the native bees.
