one hole is one nest?!?! oh my god........ the area is larger than I first
thought, they've spread onto the other side of the driveway into the front
yard (i noticed this as i was standing on top of the holes while staking the
sprinklers into the ground ). ok well it looks like i have some options,
thanks for the education.

Thanks Lar, it looks like the first picture you posted. The yellow
and
black coloring in the second picture wasn't evident to me. Maybe I'll
try
setting up a couple of lawn sprinklers in the area and see if that
helps.
In the event it doesn't, can the insecticide be purchased at a chain
store,
or perhaps garden stores generally carry it?

Any garden center will the insecticide dust. Sevin will work well, but
even
if you happen to have or know someone with a flea powder that contains
pyrethrin will work well too. You don't want to "clog" up the hole with
the
dust. Use gloves and scatter a small pinch at the opening. You can also
but
a dust applicator or use a small "baister" used in cooking, to puff the
dust
into the openings. With digger bees, one hole is one nest, they aren't
connected. They do sting, so be wary.
