Bees in my gate

One day when I was going to school, I opened the gate. There were little pesky black flies swarming all around the gate latch. I thought they were very annoying. Later, I found out these annoying flies were actually tiny little black bees. These native Thai bees were looking for shelter from the rain so they decided to live in our gate latch and in the fence post! I'm not sure what kind of bee they are. We have not seen any honey yet. They have stung me a few times, but it felt more like a mosquito bite.

We have tried to encourage them to leave and go find a new home. But they are determined to stay. I guess they like our gate latch, so for now, this is their home.
