We were mooching around some limestone pavement yesterday and saw a
great many bumblebees (and other bees) coming out of holes in the
ground. Not nesting, though - they were diving down the grykes after
the
various plants that were in flower, disappearing underground, with
their
buzzing re-echoing around the hole they were in, then reappearing from
a
completely different entrance.

Is it possible that what you saw were mining bees?

Not the slightest possibility.
