Anyway, as I sunk my shovel into the back of the compost, a good size swarm of bumblebees rose up out of the pile. Apparently they had made some kind of hive/nest in it. There were lots of big bumblebees and even little ones who couldn't fly and just lay on the ground making a buzzzz noise. Of course they went straight for me, so I was running and swinging the shovel like crazy. After a bit they settled down, and I went back for a few more shovelfuls until they ran me off again. It continued like that until I took a break at 8:00 to run. Poor little bumblebees.
