Bees

[Wewild]

Shoot, Ive got 250 hives out back stacked 4 high right now in the pasture with my bred heifer. She hasnt bothered the boxes yet, but the last 2 steers I had did. They ate up 500.00 worth of honey supers in one day. I guess they eventually had enough of getting stung because they didnt touch another box after that one day. Cows and bees can get along, but sometimes they have to learn the hard way.

That would be a $500 reason to do it differently but it is place so have at it.

I always like to keep at least 2 bovine together when ever possible as well. Seems they like it better that way.

they were just 2 curious, ornery steers. Always getting into something. I hadnt had any problems with any other animals until them, and not since. Kinda like the quote that a cow is born looking for ways to die. Same idea. :mrgreen:
