    I have 4 guineas on my place(9 acres), they range all over, I plan to start raising a few hives of bees, will my guineas be a problem?

    I have a hive in a yard with 20+ guineas and 50 + chickens. No problems at all. In fact, I think they keep the moths and beetles down, tho I have no proof of that.

    We have guineas (again), they have never bothered the bees at all.
