Do Guineas eat pollinators

[My2butterflies]

Thank you, everyone for the replies. I'm especially happy to hear that Mixed Flock Enthusiast had the same concerns and stated that it the guineas do not seem to impact the pollinators and butterflies. But, sad to hear from My2butterflies that they do eat her monarch caterpillars. I am really looking forward to starting my flock. I love gardening so I will have plenty of flowers for the pollinators.

Don’t be too disheartened about the caterpillars. I still find cocoons from time to time. And the guineas don’t seem to go after butterflies that I’ve seen. We get lots of butterflies

I had read that someone had to relocate their hives further away from their guineas as one of the guineas would stand guard outside the hive and eat the honey bees as they came out! Wish I could remember where I read that. Probably a blog or something.

I read on here that one person had to put a fence around their beehives to protect them from their guineas.

Mine leave my hives alone but the kingbirds will sit right by the hives and pick them off as they fly away.
