Radagast, or also refered to as Radigost, Radegast, Radogost and other similar variations, is a Slavic god: the protector of travellers, traders and foreigners, and patron of hospitality.

It seems like Beorn must have known this, maybe he WOULD have turned 13 dwarves, a hobbit, and a wizard aside if he hadn't been concerned for what Radagast might do ... make his honey rotten or something.
But anyway, it sure explains what Radagast was doing in Wilderland, so near to the great road and Mirkwood.
Protecting travellers. From spiders? Maybe. From Dol Guldur? Maybe.
