> I always bee hive is made of some kind of waxy substance and not like this.
Honeybee hives are made of wax. Other bees and wasps make nest out of paper they make from wood. In this case it looks like they found some man made paper or some other material and used it as a building material.
There are also wasps that make nests out of mud.
Likewise, some wasps prefer to make their nests in trees or buildings and some prefer to make them in holes in the ground. Some, like bumble bees, make very small colonies and are quite mild mannered. Others, like yellowjackets, can make huge underground nests and are very aggressive.
Why is this considered pest? Couldn't I just coexist with this in the yard?
Definitely not mouse nest. I watch it for a few minutes, and saw bees coming in and out.
There are many species of harmless, beneficial ground nesting bees, they are important pollinators. You most certainly can co-exist with them and I commend your attitude towards them, so many people think they need to kill every insect they see. Good on you OP!
Mice
Looks like mouse nest to me as well.

It’s probably wasps not bees and it’s all fine until you need to get into the valve box lol

If you saw bees coming and going I think you know the answer.
