Judging by the amount of badger poop that has been deposited around our land
(about an acre with woodland to two sides) over the past three or four weeks
we are being overrun by them!  It would be easy to clear up 20 or 30 heaps a
day.

 

So far they have not interfered with any hives, but I suspect that the
mating nucs especially would not stand much chance if they decided to have a
go at them.

 

Does anyone have any advice on deterring badgers?  (They are protected in
the UK so it is not simply a matter of shooting them!).

 

Best wishes
