Idk what attracts them, how to get rid of them, or why they are suddenly all over the place...but its pissing me off because another deterrant to my kids getting off the video games.

They have been driving us nuts on the golf course. While I was on the driving range before teeing off this morning, there must have been 15 or more on my golf bag. Once we began playing, they would buzz us while we were standing over shots and putts. I even swallowed one with about five holes remaining in our round. Another one stung me on the left side of my head.

So the bees are inconsiderate bastards who don't respect golf etiquette. Who'd a thunk it?

They are insane in Central Indiana. Worst I remember in 42 years

Was in Ferdinand, IN last weekend for a softball tournament and the sweat bees were ridiculous. Just annoying. I've never seen anything like it.

They are not sweat bees. They are hover flies or corn flies and they are harmless. Annoying at Fock but harmless. I always thought they were sweat bees too until I came across an article on hover Flies. So McNutt did not get stung by one. It was probably a bee. And Cyrano, now you can kick your kids out of the house the lazy bastages.

They were miserable at the lake this weekend (Cordry Lake in Nineveh, IN)

I've noticed more of them when I am reading my book by the pool. I haven't noticed them in other areas of the yard, so I just assumed there was a nest of them nearby. Maybe our mild winter allowed them to thrive? We didn't have the brutally cold periods we have had the last 2 prior winters.

Yep we were at Sweetwater and they were everywhere. Annoying for sure. At least they don't sting like wasps and horseflies. We battled some of those as well.

Idk what attracts them

I'm assuming your sweat, since that's their name?

Subtly testing a new moniker on the OTF is harmful to children and other living things.

IDK about sweat bees but killer bees apparently aren't AJ Foyt fans.
