Bees nesting in lawn
There is no way to identify it with a magic crystal ball! You will have to
capture one and bring it to a garden center for identification, or take a photograph. On 19 Aug 2003 12:21:34 GMT, pamnot (CbarRose) opined: Would someone here help identify a social bee that nests in lawns? The bees look very like honeybees (from a few feet away) in size and coloration (they are almost certainly not wasps). They aren't particularly aggressive but alas, yesterday one did sting a toddler who grabbed at it while playing on the grass. The nest is in a very central and unavoidable place on a neighbor's property. I'm trying to get information to learn (a) what species these are, and (b) if there's a way to avoid destroying them. (As much as I hate the thought of killing bees, these may in fact be best removed from the gene pool for nesting is such a silly spot as the edge of a front walk.) Many thanks for any information.
