Bumble, digger, mining, and sweat bees are bees that burrow in the ground. They respectively belong to the Apidae, Anthoporidae, Andrenidae, and Halictidaeinsect families. They collectively may be referred to as burrowing, earth-nesting, and ground-dwelling bees even though bumblebees -- which are social and build colonies -- will be excluded from the designation solitary bees.
If undisturbed, they won't bother you; however, if you disturb their nesting area by pulling weeds from the ground where the nest is, they will sting. I got stung this morning just that way, and last year I was chased by many bees after pulling weeds and apparently disturbing their nest.
In some countries or states bees are a protected species. This is in recognition of the importance of bees in ecology and because they are under enough threats already without us adding to them.

Killing bees is not recommended, as bees play a vital role in pollination and the overall health of the ecosystem. Instead of killing bees, consider taking measures to prevent them from nesting or stinging, such as removing potential nesting sites or wearing protective clothing. If bees become a significant nuisance or pose a danger, contact a local beekeeper or pest control professional for assistance in safely relocating the bees.
