iNaturalist IDed them as striped sweat bees in the genus Agapostemon. Do you think they may be Agapostemon splendens? We’re in southern Ontario.

bee I put out water for the chipmunks and birds, and these bees have been landing in it and drinking constantly.

Anyone know what kind they are? They're really enjoying the water! They come and go all day long.

bee Update: Added rocks to water source for the bees after many helpful suggestions here.

They seem to be very happy! They're already using the rocks, although they also like to just land in the water. Here are some still pictures:
From my research, these could be Eastern Carpenter Bees. Not great for our deck, but they are beneficial for many local flowers and birds. I'm going to continue to offer them fresh water.
Interestingly, I encountered this weird fly recently in our yard, and it appears to be a Tiger Bee Fly (4th pic in link above.) These flies are predators of the Carpenter Bee larvae, so they're also useful to have around.

bee Welcome to the Bee cantina!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Starting a few weeks ago, I put out some water for the birds, squirrels, and whoever else might be thirsty.
At first it was just a handful of bees and I wasn’t that stoked because having a ton of bees around didn’t sound great.
But now there’s like 30 of them that come hang out at Cantina and I love them! They’re so gentle and (seems like) grateful!
I can’t wait for all my sunflowers to bloom so that it can be a one stop shop for my new bee pals (:

bee This is a story about a girl named Lucky
galleryI found her struggling on the sidewalk, so I said hello and asked if she wanted to come with me… I told her I would make her some sugar water and find her beautiful flowers for her to take respite. It may be nearing the end of Lucky’s life, and I feel a bit sad, but she won’t be alone 🥹💐🥰🐝

bee A bee that landed on me and stayed on my hand for over an hour ❤️ what kind is it?
This was a couple weeks ago, I eventually had to leave so I set him down in some flowers, I feel bad for the poor guy he must've been old and weak 😭 I gave him some water though and sheltered him from the wind 🙁🫶 I don't know too much about bees though so im not sure exactly what kind it was

bee My Carpenter Bee with DWV died. I’m so sad!
galleryI’ve been caring for a wingless Carpenter Bee since mid-July. I originally found her stumbling through my back yard. She’s been living in an enclosure I made, and I’ve been providing her fresh cut flowers, occasional watermelon, a little dish of water and a little dish of sugar water. She was really active for a long time! But the last two weeks she kind of slowed down and had trouble with her balance. And then, in the last couple hours of her life she just kind of laid on her back all still. If you touched her, she moved her limbs and attempted to grab your finger. But eventually her limbs stopped responding to touch and then she was gone… I’m just so sad, I wish I had more time with her. It was really something seeing this creature up close and observing all its habits. I wished I could have done more for her. Rest in peace, Buzz Buzz.
