Five common animals make honey large parts of their diets. Two are weasels.
SKUNKS
Skunks aren’t necessarily connoisseurs of honey. In fact, they are the number one predator of the honeybee and prefer to munch on them than their honey. But they will eat the sweet stuff, most likely as a desert after they’ve had a plate of honeybees.
OPOSSUMS
Opossums are North American marsupials. Like skunks, opossums prefer to feed on honeybees. But they have been known to clean out entire hives along with the honey.
RACCOONS
Raccoons can be a nuisance. They are known to pillage garbage cans in urban areas foraging for anything they can eat. But they are also an annoyance to beekeepers. Raccoons love honey and will destroy beehives to get to the sweet stuff.
BEARS
There’s a lot of speculation whether bears actually love honey or not. Evidence has shown that bears do indeed love honey. When they get a hold of a beehive, they tend to consume the entire hive from the honey down to the larvae in the honeycomb.
HONEY BADGERS
Honey badgers, like skunks, are part of the weasel family and are native to Africa, Southwest Asia, and India. Honey badgers are ferocious creatures that will eat anything. They have been known to consume everything. One reason for their name is because they love honey. Like the other animals on this list, they will eat everything within a beehive, honeybees and all. They have also been known to work with a bird called the Greater Honeyguide. These birds guide honey badgers to hives. Where the badgers break in, eat what they want, and leave the scraps for the birds
And there is singular sixth creature that, absent a constant flood of honey, flowing from bees' mouths but from those of people, weasel family, but due to what surely is among the most shameless exhibitions of metempsychosis, is technically human: Donald Trump.
