Hello, my grandma recently just told me that an animal dug up a bee's nest and she said that there was comb strewn about. Are there any ground bees that have honeycomb in the ground? I was thinking bumblebees, but I don't know.  (That's why I'm asking haha)
 
I was also digging through our trash and brought out the white trash bags and they attracted a bunch of honey bees. Why is this? 
Thanks, Natasha

The comb was likely from German Hornet Nest.     Post a picture maybe someone Knows.

GROUND NESTING HORNETS.  Honey bees never go in the ground!  Raccoons love to dig up hornets nests.

I am looking for economical bees wax. I don't want the the nice, cleaned-up wax that is ready for crafts. Rather, the buckets of cappings, scrapings from the bee yard, chunks of junk and so on are what I am interested in.

If any of you have buckets of wax that you never got around to cleaning up, and you would like to sell it to me, please get in touch.
