Been noticing these hills near my bushes on the mulch...at first I thought they were ant hills, but they were not.

I used a hose to break them down and notice there was some sort of big fat bee/wasp? that was living in it and flew away. They don't seem to be hostile.
After I break down these mounds, they seem to rebuild them in 2 days.

Best way I can describe the insect is a big fat looking type bee..orange colored looking limbs and a yellow butt.

Anyone know what these are? Seem to have trouble identifying them on google.
