Very small tomato blossom bug

What color are they? Do they have wings?

Thanks so much. It is better to be safe than sorry. I have some seven, but it am going to try Neem oil with Dr Bronner's soap. It is not harmful to bees, and is a natural substance.

I believe what you have is 'Pollen mites'. Not a serious problem for you or the plant, but visiting solitary bees can become infected, carrying the mites back to their nest site where they consume the pollen intended for brood. The egg has nothing to feed on and dies, no brood.
One big reason why solitary bees are in decline.
