Best Answer

Several suggestions:

1) This bee-like creature may actually be a termite. Termites have no relation to the bee family but I can understand why you may be confused. Not all termites can fly but they do have wings, and that mound they go into is their home.

2) Yeah, because I don't think bees can get that big. The largest stinging insect is the Japanese Giant Hornet and they live in Asia inside paper nests.

3) There are several species of solitary wasps, such as the Great Black Wasp, which can be 2 inches in length, dig burrows in the ground when laying eggs, and each burrow, as with ants, will have a small mound of dirt outside that the insect has expelled from the tunnel.

Could the original questioner give more detail about the insect's coloration, and the size of the mound, and where it is (continent, forest, savannah, beach, back yard, etc)?
