I saw something strange today concerning bear behavior. I'd like to share it with you. In a yard of 40 hives, all the feeder pails were knocked off the hives and assembled at one end of the yard. 14 of the pails had teeth puncture holes in the exact same place on the bottom of the pails. What a delicious sweet snack for the bear. I assume it is a bear. We don't have raccoons in this area. The good news is he didn't push any of the hives over. Not yet anyway! Has anyone else noticed that a bear's sweet tooth includes more than just honey and bees? Kevin Christensen Mallaig, Alberta, Canada
