Ducks and Bees

Until I started blocking the hive entrance with quarter inch mesh hardware cloth, I had problems with deer mice entering the hives in the winter when the bees are semi torpid. Mice would destroy comb and kill and eat bees. Skunks were a problem until I put fencing around the hives.
 
This is all really good info. I'm coming at this the other way, from having beehives to getting ducks. In addition to the books and bee clubs, the Bee Source forums (just google search will bring it up) have a wealth of info for possible beekeepers. It's just like the BYC forum but all about bees!
