You sure they’re bumble bees
What most people call “bumble bee” is known by most are carpenter bees, what he is talking about are probably a Bombus species. Carpenter Bees look like them, but Bombus species will bust your arse. (They live in the colonies in the ground and cavities, not the carpenter bees that tunnel in your exposed wood on the house)

It's been my experience that bumbles nest in the ground. And anyone who thinks they aren't aggressive, try messaging with the nest. I know a couple of guy who have gotten lit up.

all this. I've gotten into several yellow jackets nests and one "bumble bee" nest. I still vividly remember those little vicious mini bumble bees clamping down on my legs while I was fleeing from the push mower. frick I hope i never get into them again. I just sorta remember the yellow jacket occurrences.

I remember as a kid if they have a white face they can’t sting. We would try to catch them and tie a kite string around them and pull them back in.
