Yes, but beware. I once dropped a mothball down a hole in the ground which was the yellowjacket's nest. 3 days later, the mothball was out and sitting on top of the ground, a few inches from the nest. I was amazed that the yellowjackets somehow managed to lift out the mothball.

No. We had a raccoon that kept coming inside our house through a pet door. We surrounded the pet door with moth balls. The moth balls did absolutely no good.

Yes moth balls are a proven way of deterring bees. Hang a few moth balls in a nylon stocking near the bee hive in order to get rid of them.

Are underground bees common?

Yellow Jackets: Yellow jackets are small (half-inch long) wasps marked with yellow. Colonies are initiated by overwintering queens that make paper nests underground, but occasionally in hollow trees, wall voids and attics or on a branch over a stream. A fully developed nest may contain from a few hundred to many thousand adults. Yellow jackets feed on a variety of pest insects, but will also forage for meat or soft drinks at picnic, camp and garbage sites. This habit often brings them into close association with people. Good sanitation in picnic areas can help reduce problems with these pests. Solitary scavenging yellow jackets are usually non-aggressive unless handled, but become very aggressive as a group if they believe their nest is threatened. Yellow jackets will vigorously pursue an intruder who threatens their nest and are generally considered the most dangerous of the social insects.
