Bees

Tawny Mining Bees (whose scientific name is Andrena fulva) can be a temporary nuisance on some shorter maintained grass lawns, especially where the soil is sandy or on heavier soil during dry periods of the year. They are solitary ground nesting bees and burrow into the soil, with the entrances to their nest having small mounds of soil. A small group of two or three holes (or mounds) could be the work of a single female having a few nests.
