POST #2: Bear Prevention Works

Can electric fencing protect beehives from bears? Absolutely.

These photos tell two real stories from our last year beekeeping students.

Photo 1: One student's apiary in Bolton, now protected by an electric bear fence.

Photos 2 & 3: Last year, another student had a black bear walk into the yard toward her hive. Fortunately, her husband scared it away before the bear reached the colony. (caught on ring camera) boy was her husband brave!!

The very next step?

An electric bear fence was installed.

Once a bear discovers a beehive, there's a good chance it will return. That's why we encourage beekeepers in areas with bear activity to install fencing before a bear ever visits.

Have you seen black bears in your neighborhood recently? We'd love to hear where.

🍯 DID YOU KNOW? 🍷

Mead is believed to be the world’s oldest alcoholic beverage!

Made from just honey, water, and yeast, mead has been enjoyed for thousands of years by cultures around the world.

🐝 We’re excited to be working through the licensing process so we can bring Honey & Mead Tastings to Hudson Hives in the future.

Have you ever tried mead?
