Hi I'm very new to beekeeping, collecting my first swarm only on monday, so am very green and on a steep learning curve.
We used to have an out-apiary in the garden for a local beekeeper and many of his hives were badly damaged by our resident green woodpeckers.
What I need to know is how can I protect the hive from Mr pecker?
Also am I right in thinking that the woodpeckers will only seek out the bees in cold weather?
Thanks for your help
