The word bale refers to a large, rectangular bundle of something, usually hay, straw, or cotton. While a bale is often made up of many individual items, it's not considered a collective noun because it's not a group of living things.
If you're interested in collective nouns, let me know what type of group you're thinking about (animals, people, objects, etc.) and I can provide some examples.
