Ground bees are drawn to dry, sandy soils and areas with sparse vegetation, which provide ideal nesting conditions.

Most ground bees are solitary and non-aggressive. They rarely sting unless provoked or stepped on.

Look for small holes in the ground with surrounding mounds of soil, often accompanied by bee activity nearby.

Ground bees typically don’t harm your lawn. Their tunnels are small and don’t affect root systems.

Ground bees are most active in the spring, usually from March to May depending on the climate.
