Do you know what kind of bees they are? If honey bees, contact the local beekeeping society and they'll be round like a shot to give them a new home. In fact, they'd be worth contacting anyway for advice.

Cheers. I've told her she can't kill them...
Honey bees don't nest in the ground. Most likely your critters are Bumblebees or digger bees (family Anthoporidae), sweat bees (family Halictidae), and mining bees (family Andrenidae). They are helpful for plant propagation, but don't produce honey and, therefore will be olittle interest to bee keepers.

You might use care, however, since they could be a variety of wasps, which can be very aggressive.
