Not cold for a bear. Besides there is still food to eat....like your bees.
Another beekeeper on this list just lost his best yard last week. Nope, not
too cold for bears.

Why not. There are suitable battery fence chargers that work well...such as
the Gallagher B-10 or B-11....or the Speedrite AN-90 Both run on flashlight
batteries, and will stop a bear.
