Hello,

Honeybees do not nest in the ground. It's more likely your little friends are ground nesting yellowjackets rather than bees. Yellowjackets are not pollinators but they are aggressive jerks this time of year. They will die out on their own over the winter. If you want to get rid of them quickly dump a half cup of Sevin Garden Dust down the hole they are using.

Best regards,
