I took to putting my hive pallets on top of a grocery pallet for that
reason. It also saves rotting the skids on the more expensive pallets
and allows working at a more comfortable height.
Although a skunk could reach up, so far is see no signs of . I do worry
when hives are hanging out and there are clusters hanging from the
entrances, though.
I do have a skunk. You can see him captured on a game camera in
yesterday's diary, reaching up wishing he could reach the pallet of
Global Patties I raised onto drums because he was bothering the boxes.
Skunks love pollen parries, BTW.
