Hmmm. Bees look for pollen, so I don't think they'd be interested in the
compost for that. And they need somewhere to live -- either hives or in the
ground, so I don't think that would attrack them either. So my guess is no,
they shouldn't be a problem. In addition, I've handled a lot of compost
questions/problems and never heard of anything concerning bees. Or wasps or
hornets, for that matter.
Hope this helps!

Does anyone know if bees can be a problem with a compost bin.
I have recently started composting and I am worried that bees may vist
and cause a problem.
