Why are sweat bees attracted to sweat

Question

Is there some kind of evolution thing that does it?

Answer 1

Sweat bee are attracted to the salt in human sweat. Their attraction to sweat makes them a nuisance, as they will sting if squeezed or squashed against one's flesh. The reason for these bees to be attracted to perspiration is because they collect the pollens and salt from the sweat on our skins and other living beings. Sweat attracted bees come from the Apidae class of bees, which have usually painless stings. Like some types of flying insects such as house fly, the sweat bees come to drink the salt off the skin when it gets dry and hot.
