Mist attracting bees & wasps/hornets

While out shopping the other day I picked up a mister on sale, thinking that the outdoor finches might like it. It's a little tube that attaches to the end of your hose nozzle & winds around a stationary object; it produces a very fine mist. I wound it around the pergola this morning and within seconds there were a few bees and several wasps or hornets (sorry, don't know the difference) flying through the mist. They seem to make many passes through, then clean their antennas (antennae?) and sun themselves on the pergola slats before flying through again. What are they doing?
