Re: ground bees

I've always used diazanon. I have always mixed it in a bucket. Located the hives, then treat them at night when the bees are retired. Don't much like using stuff like that, but I like yellow jackets less.

While weeding (ok read pulling out the cover of weeds) the railroad
garden I have found it is infested with ground bees. I have hundreds of 
them everywhere there. They are not aggressive, as no one got bit. But
they are all in a tither trying to dig in the dirt again.


What the heck are they? They sure look like a bees. How do I control
them? There are way too many to allow them to just stay. And if I do
succeed in stopping them, I am afraid they will just go elsewhere in the 
yard. I need kill off some at least. Ideas?
