Honeybee Pests: Target Practice


This hive was damaged by bullets in a remote location. It seems that shooters were using this hive as target practice. No substantial harm can come to the bees unless a bullet hits the queen, which is unlikely. But damage to the woodenware can be significant and no one wants lead in their honey.  


To avoid this kind of damage, it is best to place hives where people can’t see them.
