CLOSED: These are swarming my garden.. good or bad?

Brampton, Canada

I am sorry if I have posted this here or elsewhere and received responses, but I am like an overzealous mother worried about her children... can you help? Earlier photos were too blurred

The images of the beetles in the photo are too small to be certain, but they could be soldier beetles (Cantharidae - see http://www.pbase.com/tmurray74/image/90560794). Another possibility would be long-horned wood-boring beetles (Cerambycidae), as many different species (especially in the subfamily Lepturinae) can be found visiting flowers.
