I'm located in the Piedmont region of NC, and have never run into, nor needed any fencing for bear protection. I decided to move some hives out west, into the mountains, to follow their flow (get a second crop, and hopefully find some sourwood fields). I'll be putting them on a 14' single axle trailer, and leaving them for about a month to six weeks at a time (although the land owner lives somewhat nearby, and can inform me if there is a major issue inbetween). The area is in bear country, for certain.

I'm in need of a temporary, electrified, bear fence, but I'm entirely unfamiliar with them. I've seen ads in BeeCulture and ABJ for Premier 1 (www.premier1supplies.com) that has netting fencing that can be put up fairly easily. But not having any experience (or idea what it would cost), figured I'd turn to the crowd for ideas and comments.

Any suggestions for a temporary, fairly inexpensive electrified bear fence that I can put around a 14' trailer and leave for 4-6 weeks on end?
