Fencing not technically legal .

You must not put an obstruction in the way of badgers if you are aware they are using that route . Even if you do they will dig round , under or climb over it .

There's only one way to stop it completely and it aint legal .

The WCA only relates setts and animals and I don't think anyone would realistically put their hives on a badger ' run' so fencing is perfectly legal. Sensible dairy and beef farmers note badgers runs and put up electric fencing to isolate their cattle again perfectly legal as long as they don't disturb the sett or harm animals....killing and the effects of purtubation has been left to the Cam moronic government and their lackies!

Use entrance reducers or small mesh screens to restrict the hive entrance, allowing bees to pass through but making it difficult for badgers to enter.
need a bleddy big entrance to allow a badger to enter the hive - they usually just make their own access.
What size mesh do you recommend for a badger excluder?
