I didn't even know sweat bees could sting. When I drove a cab I used to sit in a field with my feet sticking out the window and they'd inevitably come land on me and suck on my toes. I suppose it wouldn't make much sense to sting your food source if you don't have to, though.

When I was a kid, they were forever stinging me in the armpits.
