My poor little lone hive got visited by a bear the other night and I haven't seen it yet (it's at a friends house, will today though). He said it got tossed around and there were paw prints all over and around it. He there were holes in the frames, there goes my nice young brood... He put it back up on the stand and got stung once, so they're still there. I know I *really* don't want to hear the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway...he/she will be back right? Should I have some kind of fence with a battery now? I guess now I can say "I told you so" to my wife for net letting me keep it in our backyard in town where there are no bears...8-} Start PGP Encrypted .sig file now: ****************************************************************************** Dave D.
