Do Guineas eat pollinator species? I will be new to Guineas in October. I have Lyme disease for several years and recently became infested with over 800 seed tick bites. I need the guineas for tick control. However, I am also an organic gardener and do everything I can to attract and protect pollinator species. Will the guineas eat monarch and other butterfly caterpillars and larvae, will they eat pollinator bees and flies and moths? I don't want to choose between my health and pollinators which we need for healthy food. I can put in some expense to keep the guineas out of the garden but my flower, herb and vegetable gardens will be too expansive to protect it all from the guineas. I appreciate all the responses to this question.
