Predators and other pests can be devastating to the honey bees. Bears and other animals love bee hives. Honey bees can be looked at as a tasty snack to some of our wild animals. Some are easier to keep away than others.
Pests such as hive beetles, varroa mites, wax moths, ants, hornets, and mice. They focus on bee hives also. We protect our honey bees and give them a fighting chance.
