I was wondering does anyone get any trouble with badgers raiding hives i know they like to dig wasp nests out
A lot of people think of badgers as just nice furry animals without knowing how strong they are..I personally haven't but I know beekeepers who have hives knocked over by badgers
Badgers will knock over and feed on bee hives but like all creatures , if you put or they find an easy meal they will take advantage.......bit like an unprotected chicken house and foxes.
Have heard of problems with badgers and the best way I am told is to put an electric netting fence around hives until they learn that the 'easy meal' comes with an almigty 'sting'!
