Hi People
Ok hopefully I will be able to ask the correct type of question on this.
History.
We live and work on some ones estate and part of it is in what w call the walled garden.
So the other day i was on the part of it that i have planted plants against the wall ie climbers etc.(I know I am goig on a bit.
Anyway there I was knelt down doing some digging and I notised these what looked like a small version of a Bee eexcept they had a very dark abdomen and a orange coloured neck same as a huney bee.Then i noticed that they were going in and out of holes in the ground.
I kept doing what I had to do keeping a eye on the (bees?) they did not seem to bother about me as long as I did not get to close,then from know were there sat what I took to be the queen of them,she also went in and out of the ground but then did not come out again.
Does any one know what these are please and are they ok with my bees as they did not seem to get on with each other let alone another type of creature. (I will try to get a pic)
Hope someone knows??
Regards
