The best I've found is to use bird-netting over the tops of hives.
It also works against raccoons, etc. Those animals can't stand
getting tangled up in the netting.
Of course, one can find that and other tips in the following book:
2001 Klein, H.D. and A.M. Wenner. Tiny Game Hunting:
Environmentally Healthy Ways to Trap and Kill the Pests in Your House
and Garden. Univ. of California Press: Berkeley.
Why use poisons when other techniques work so well?
