I once saw a video about skunks munching on bees at night. Apparently, the skunks will knock on the hive until bees fly out, then gulp down our little ladies. One of the tell-tale signs of the skunks' activities, as I recall, is the presence of large numbers of mutilated bees around the hive. Anyone have direct experience with skunks feasting on their hives?
