Default small bees in ground

Thanks for any suggestions on how to get rid of them.


Get some fire ants.

You may have to watch it on loop a few times to see it well, but watch around
the middle right of the clip and you'll see a fire ant circling around the
wasp's rear leg (left leg, right from camera POV). Then, after the wasp's
(dramatic) reaction, note the ant scrambling around on the left side. (Sorry
for the graininess of the clip, my digital camera supports only short,
low-quality video clips).
