Bees in hole in ground

How fabulous - I've only seen a bumble nest once, and sadly it was being dug up and eaten by, wait for it, a hedgehog! Nature doing her thing.
So no, I guess they're pretty unlikely to sting when you're just picking sweet peas.

Oh dear! we’ve got a couple of hedgehogs that visit the garden most nights.
I’d better start putting out even more of Fitz’s food so that they leave the bumbles alone.
