Fire flys do no damage, their larvae eat other insects. As for the little tiney bees, we call them sweat bees. I would say any type of bee would be good for your garden. But if you could post a pic that would be great.

i've seen a few more tiny bees this year than normal, maybe i just never noticed them before. i don't think these ones are sweat bees, but i'm not sure.
