yes raccoons eat bees
Raccoons will eat bees if they have the opportunity to. They are classified as omnivores which means that they will eat pretty much anything that they come across.

What breed of dog digs the least?

Nearly all dogs will dig if given the opportunity, but some breeds are more prone to this behavior than others. All terriers love to dig; dogs like terriers who have been bred to "go to ground" after small prey will try to dig up any place that they believe may turn up something to chase. If you don't want a dog to dig, don't get a terrier. When dogs do dig and you want them to stop, you can put some of their fresh poop in the hole and it will at least temporarily stop the digging. You may have to keep putting in fresh poo to keep them from still wanting to dig there, but for some dogs this will help stop the habitual digging.
