I've seen the beauty berry bushes heavily cropped, and always assumed that it was deer that had eaten them.....can't say I've ever seen them eat it though. On another note, the leaves of the beauty berry bush are supposed to be a natural insect repellent. That's gotta be worth something, especially if you forget your thermacell.
