Over the past few days I've noticed small dark brown bees going in
and out of holes in ground in the area we've cleared for this
years tomato plants. The holes are surrounded by tiny mounds of loose
dirt, just like ant hills. The bees look like half-size honey bees
except that they're a darker brown color. I'm not particularly
interested in killing them, but I would like them to go away.

Can anybody suggest a Web site with pictures where I can ID these
critters? My Google searches have produced too many results to be
useful.
