Welcome to Beesource!
'Honeybees' are a social bee, which means they live in a colony with many other honeybees. Those colonies are typically aboveground.
However there are other kinds of bees, likely native and characterized as solitary bees, that do nest in the ground. More on that here:

And there are also other kinds of flying insect that may resemble bees, but perhaps are wasps, that nest in the ground.
