Sweat bees are bugging me

I have a ton of wildlife, which is usually fun, but these little bees are being mean to me near my roses! They like to land on skin, but then they just sting any time they feel like it. Multiple bees will be on different spots at the same time, and they don't like to go away when you try to shoo them.

Does anyone know what they are really called? It's the kind that looks like a bee, not the kind shaped much differently. They are very small.

I'm hoping that maybe I can encourage them to nest somewhere else on my land instead of hanging around those roses so much. Or it might be my companion plants that attract them there, so I might switch to fewer bee magnets if that's what it is.

Something else stung me on the butt today, too, lol! For no reason! I'll assume that was just an odd drive-by, but I don't like mean bees, just most bees.
