Lice and mites.

Any meat eating animal. Weasel, skunk, opossum, racoon, fisher cat, house cat, bobcat, dog, fox, coyote, wolf, bear, owl, hawk...I'm sure I missed one or two.

The bear usually are only after the feed. Bear came a few nights and started to destroy my grow out run. I stopped leaving feed out and they stopped. Of course they ate everything in my two bee hives so maybe are waiting for the few bees and one queen left to build up more brood and honey before returning.
