When you write "bumble bees" are you sure you're not referring to
yellow jackets (a wasp)? Because yellow jackets have a nasty habit of
burrowing near the base of a building.

Bumble bees usually are found low near the ground on nesting on the
ground such as under sheds or under loose grass/leaf matter such as a
pile of hay or an abandoned pile of leaves.
Wasps bite and one can/will bite a number of times. Where bees use
their stinger once and they're done.

Honey bees use their stinger once and are done...Bumble bees, as wasps
can use their stingers multiple times.
