Feed them. I'm serious. Have you ever watched a skunk eating bees? It's awfully painful. I'm sure it is not their first choice. It is like many things. If you can look throught he eyes of your enemy, and see his problem, you may be able make a new friend. I AM feeding them! And they're not my enemy. I don't really care if they eat a few bees, I only mind when the hives get ornery. But seriously folks, how am I to feed them? How often would I have to go around to 15 or 20 yards and leave the picnic baskets? pb
