Any ideas?

Solitary possibly?

Apparently there's a load of them down the end of someone's garden, under a shrubby plant.

I know they're not honeybees, just wanted to let her know what they were.

i would say mining bees, but need a clearer picture to tell, mining bees do have a sting but it cant get though human skin.
