There are all kinds of animals who take honey, from insects to rodents to raccoons to bears. I think that the premature mortality rate for bees in the wild has to be considerably higher also, and not just because of predation by larger animals such as bears, but because hives aren't as easily defended against other insects as manmade hives are, nor do they protect the colony from the elements as well. And fewer bees equals less honey, and less competition for space between the honey and the bees. Basically, yes, thank you. I have so many animals that I seem to almost always have some kind of health crisis going on. Someone on the parrot board of which I'm a member asked me how many lives I'm responsible for, and so I added them up and realized it was 69. And that was before the recent dumping here of three yearling cats and three kittens. That's probably more to do with having a shallow source of liquid than the fact that it's pee. Bees need a source of water that they can easily access without risk of drowning. I happen to have a decorative bird bath that has enough raised and low spots that it works well for the bees, but a shallow dish with pebbles in it, filled only high enough that the pebbles are only partially submerged, works well.
