compost bin bees!

Posted by Jim on July 22, 2008, 12:03:55

Why do bumble bees like to gather at my compost bin when I turn the compost? They seem to like to land on the fresh material that I pull out from the bottom.
I was pulling from the bin today and a few showed up... I came back to get more about 10 minutes later and about 15 more showed up. They were not very angry with me and seemed to be busy landing on the compost I pulled from the bottom. Eentually a couple began to dive at me.

These are the "Bumble" type- medium\ big fuzzy and fairly friendly.

However, I would like them to leave me alone when I pull my compost. Anyone else had this problem?
