Entomology of Digger Bees
Digger bees are 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch in size and are solitary, non-social wasps. Each hole is a separate, independent nest of digger bess. The females dig these half-inch to one inch deep burrows to nest and raise young.
Digger Bees Aren't a Threat
Digger Bees aren't aggressive at all and, unless you directly grab them, they do not sting. They do however destroy lawns.
