Has anyone had any experience with honey bees harrassing birds in and around
bird nesting boxes?
Unfortunately, the person reporting this to me is neither a beekeeper or an
ornithologist.
I hope to get to the bogs this year while the pollinators are in and see for
myself.

As a beekeeper/birdwatcher, I have not seen any evidence of this
behavior.
Many of us are probably thinking of alternative explanations for the
observations that were reported to Dick Bonney, but I hope someone can check
this out.
