i am going to be putting out my first hive in a few weeks so my knowledge base is small. but my mentor was also unsure on this...i have a purple martin colony. i put them on the land to deal with mosquitos organically. but will they also eat my bees?

Good Question,

Purple Martins make thier diet of insects, I would assume that Honey bees would be a sweet change to the muddy mosquito.

Hopefully, a expert will answer this one.
