What else is in a beehive other than... honey bees?

If you stop and look closer the next time you are in your beeyard, you will in all likelihood begin to notice all manner of living creatures sharing the beeyard space with you and your bees.

Some, most in fact, are not a problem for your bees and in fact, many are actually beneficial to your bees. These ‘pests’ clean up the messes from your bees.

Once you look inside the hive, you may find even more of these creatures making a home alongside the bees. Some are really pests, eating larvae, adult bees, beeswax, honey and generally making a mess. Others are completely benign, simply using the hive as a convenient place to get out of the rain, stay warm in, or hide from their predators

Kim and Jim offer some interesting insights to all of these creatures. Listen in and find out what those earwigs, ants and springtails can do!
