Dear Colleagues;
I am a hobby beekeeper who had 4 hives. On the night of 10/21 a bear
destoyed 3 hives - I did manage to raise one back up -those bees were really
angry! The next night the bear returned and destroyed the remaining
untouched hive and the one I managed to right. It looks like I will be
starting all over again in the spring. Two questions: it has been
cold-around 30F this past week-I am in the New York State Taconic range-why
aren't the bears hibernating by now? Secondly, this is a situation where I
could not use an electric fence does anyone have experience with another
type of fence that works?
Any thoughts will be much appreciated! Howard
