Q&A – Would a beehive be good when growing food plots for deer and turkeys?

Question:
Would a beehive be good when growing food plots for deer and turkeys?
​​
Answer:

Beehives would help the food plots. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says the bees will help the crops grow thicker. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond does point out that you need to protect the hives from bears that like honey.

She references a publication that gives instructions for protecting hives from bears. Find it here.
