I set ups Bee coral on the neighbors property in an old cow feeder area. This had concrete base and closed in on 3 sides.
I ran electric fence around the outside.
The bear reached over and knocked over the hive.
I got them set up immediately and needless to say they were pi**ed off.
The next night a raccoon came by and I’m sure the bees weren’t having no part of this little robber.
It takes 3 to 4 days to calm the bees down again.
I’ll be adding more wire and possibly mesh wire.
I did add a dog food can with some dog food still in it to attract the bear and hopefully shock him before he destroys anything again

DID YOU KNOW?

🐝There are live enzymes in honey.

🐝When in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die.

🐝The best way to eat honey is with wooden or plastic spoon.

🐝Honey contains a substance that helps your brain work better.

🐝Honey is one of the rare foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.

🐝One teaspoon of honey is enough to sustain human life for 24 hours.

🐝Propolis that bees produce, is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics

🐝Honey has no expiration date.

🐝The bodies of the great emperors of the world were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent putrefaction.

🐝The term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that newlyweds consumed honey for fertility after the wedding.

🐝A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

🐝One of the first coins had a bee symbol on it.

Deep gratitude to the humble BEE!🐝

It was a warm Christmas Day and the bees were out flying.
I fed them some sugar.
Sadly I had a hive that froze out already.
