As a bee keeper they are bad. they scratch on the hives at night and eat the guard bees that come out. That makes the bees cranky not being able to get their sleep at night. They also try to chew thru the hives and get at the honey.


I live trap them and have gotten 5 since December 20th. four were trying to get in the garage.
But they didn't go to waste they have became a frozen treat for the area coyotes. Just added another one to the pile this morning.


Also it is against the law (Michigan) to transport a wild animal to release it some where else, a $200.00 fine which I wish they would raise to $500.00 so those dam tree huggers would be to afraid to transport their problem to some one else's home.
Yes there is public land but people also live around that public land.


Kill it or let is loose in your yard.


Yes I also will eat a few every year.
