Bee hive.... issues?

[Murdy]

I'm hoping to soon let my 8 week old chicks out of their run and give them the run of the back yard, but something dawned on me... I've got a bee hive. Are the chickens going to attack and eat the bees? Or will they coexist together?

Mine leave bees alone. The chickens might be able to put a dent in hive beetle pupae and larvae outside hive on ground in vegetation if chickens forage there enough.

Perfect. Thanks for the reply!
