Can you identify this bug?
I spotted what looked like flying ants one day but after closer inspection I saw they flew like bee's and appeared to be gatherers. I'd say they are about 1/16" big. There was one sentry bug who used it's abdomen to block the entry while no bugs were using it. Expert opinions welcome.

Very recently, in Alabama, a new species of funnel web spider was discovered. So it just goes to show, you never know.

LOL! You noticed that black plastic huh? It was actually put down, as a weed barrier around watermelon plants, around 25 years ago and that shit still endures.

They were actually pretty benign, I put my finger near them and they weren't threatening at all.

Can't see much from the video, but I'd say they are a species of miner bee. They behavior seems more bee like than wasp like to me..flight lines, less jerkiness than a wasp, etc.
Do a google image search on miner bee and see if anything there matches what you saw.
For a guess, try "micrandrena"..these are the smallest of the miner bees.
