LOL I guess but my indian runner eats any flying bug it sees!! lol

I don't know about ducks but my chickens often graze amid my gardens surrounded by honey bees and the chickens and bees ignore each other.
I love living next to a bee farm. free pollination!

Sweet! This is good news for me! xD My neighbors have two hives and I actually just found out they're moving!! So maybe I might have to get a hive to keep the cherries and flowers and such pollinated!!!

Make sure you really read up on beekeeping and be very sure it is something you are willing to do! It is a very expensive and time-consuming hobby, albeit very rewarding should you choose to do it

The bees do all the work and once or twice a year you collect the honey. You don't have to feed a hive. What's the big expense once you buy or build a box and buy some bees. You need a net suit (for lack of a better name) and a smoker.

But you weren't taking their honey.

No! I got to help my neighbor with smoking them so he could remove the bees!

Is your neighbor willing to help you after he moves?
