100% certain it is not a sweat bee. This looks to be some type of wasp. The sweat bee is much smaller but it's sting is very powerful for such a small bee. They are also black and have a hard shell. It feels sort of like a burn and it keeps on twinging after the sting. I think they are called sweat bees because they generally like to get in areas like the fold of your elbow, backs of your knees or some other area that gets damp with sweat.

Eeesh.....time to flip a coin....heads sweat bee, tails wasp. Thanks for taking a look cameranut.

Nice, but not sure that it is a bee, I think that down here in the south just about any small bee is called a sweat bee, but I'm thinking that is a wasp.

Thanks Blurryeyed. Not sure this little fella will ever be named.

I corrected myself in the next post, probably is a sweat bee, I asked the google and she said I was probably wrong.
