Did someone say Sweat Bees?
It turns out that the RAMS Sweat Bees (not to be confused
with the Pinnacle "Circle Flies") are:
Syrphid Hoverflies
| A
population explosion of a tiny fly often called a
hover fly seems to be occurring in some areas where
soybeans and corn are grown. This tiny fly is often
confused with a sweat bee. It is yellow and black
in color and often swarms around people. Rest
assured that this is a fly and not a bee (bees can
sting, flies cannot). Therefore, even though this
is a nuisance pest, it will not harm people. In its
immature stage, this fly is beneficial by eating
aphids and other pests of soybeans.

The RAMS Club has Hoverflies. Kind of appropriate since we actually have pilots who hover their aircraft!
