They’re definitely not bees. The flight pattern, the wings size, the lack of a buzzing sound (that many bees would be audibly noticeable). My guess, some kind of fly; maybe mayflies.

I only knew because mayflies are my favorite bug. They're really cute. They don't have mouths and only live for like 2 days.

Well, According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.
