Can baby ducklings eat dead bees?

[CaitiCait]

My duck keeps finding dead bees around the house and is eating them. Is it okay if they eat them?

Ducklings often eat things they ought not, and not every time does it cause trouble.

I would try to sweep out around where the ducklings are to get rid of older bee carcasses, just because they mold and mold is not good. And if the bees are dead because they were poisoned, there may be a trace amount of poison in the bee as well. If the bee died of natural causes recently, I don't see how there could be a problem. I have seen my ducks nab live bees. So far, no mouth stings. I pray that it stays that way.

My duckling eats every thing!
When ever i take him out of his brooder he tries to every thing ranging from fuzz to bugs!
this morning he plucked a fuzz from his bedding (an old towel) put it in his mouth and I had to gentely grab him right below his beast area
so he could not move and then i still hed to fight him for HIS fuzz!
Eventually I got it out of his mouth then he desided he wanted back so he grabed it out of my hand then i had to westle him for it agian!

He has been kepping me up so much!!!!
I have hardly gotten any sleep in the last 5 days!!!

I'm starting to feel slightly sick...

Thanks for the replies

Sadly, my ducklings passed last night >.<
We did not feed them the bees. My niece caught a lot of dead flies and fed it to them. They ate so much that they had a hard time walking. They grew really weak, and passed. I cried my heart out when they died. We just buried them today. Poor little babies

That is very sad.
