RE:  <Badgersrepresent a bee yard problem that I know nothing about. AFAIK, in
the US badgers have been found as far east as Buffalo, NY, but not
further. Anyone know what that is all about?)


The English badger (Meles meles) is a completely different critter than our North American badger (Taxidea taxus).  In comparison, the English badger is very mild in temperment.  Not sure if they would attack hives or not....
