Bee hive in the ground!

I'd never seen bees building their hive in the ground before, until my brother in-law discovered this bee colony in his back garden and called us over to take a look!

It's hard to tell how far down it goes.

We didn't want to disturb the nest too much. There were already a lot of bees flying around.

They didn't seem too bothered by our presence though.

I managed to get pretty near with the camera, and get some close-ups of the occupants!

It is really important we save the bees!

[movievertigo]

Yeah, he's not going to disturb the nest or try and remove them unless they become a real problem.

Gross looking. If they were hornets (useless insects) I'd say kill them with fire, but since these are bees, I'd let them be :)
