Hi there

Looking for a bit of advice on what to do about some bees that I have discovered.

I am trying to clear out a section of rockery in my front garden and have cleared all the vegitation away. I have also begun to dig out some of the buried rocks and earth. This has exposed 2 holes where bees have come and gone from. They appear mostly in the late afternoon (4ish) when I have been working. The most I have seen at one time is six which have then disappeared down the two holes. If I try scraping away at the earth (not near the holes) 1 or 2 come out again.

I would like to get this area cleared so am looking for advice about how best to get them removed.

I used the picture guide on https://mrichar1.github.io/beedentify/ which seemed to suggested they where solitary mining bees.

Any advice welcome. Note that I have stopped work on the area until I get a solution to this.

Thanks

Tim
