There's your answer :)

The only problem with bees and compost is that when you apply it to flowers,
they grow more flowers and attract more bees.

There are many sorts of bees & some of them burrow into soft soil or
upturned turf to establish a hive. If your compost isn't "hot" then it's
just loose stuff for the ground bees to burrow in. But if you keep the
compost damp & stirred it will heat up from decomposition & it will not be
an interesting spot for bees. Not that bees are a "problem." They are a
benifit to the garden, & it is nice flowers they'll be visiting most.
