It seems like we have some honey bees nesting in our garden.


They have made
a little hole in the soil and are going in and out quite frequently.

They're not honey bees, they're mining bees. But they're 'goodies' and
should be encouraged.

Are
they OK to keep where they are as we have 2 small children

Well, I would. They won't attack without provocation. But they regard
being stepped on as provocation. You might want to tell the children not
to step on the hole, or to put a barrier around it if the children are
too small to tell.

Miner bees can't sting, they don't have the equipment.

Encourage the children to watch and protect them, they're fascinating.
