Always wear protective clothing and use a smoker when working bees.

Trouble came a calling
The puncture pail opening method works best for bears.
The bear wanted some bee supplies.
I finally got a picture of this troublemaker. He ate a 5 gallon pail of Bee Feed without even taking the lid off. He used the incisor puncture method. I am sure he was very satisfied with that. This was 20 yds from my back door.
I have kept bees for 28 years and run 25 colonies. We have changed our business name to Bees and Honey LLC. We are still selling honey at our Stillwater location.
Honey fills (still in Stillwater) anytime but please call
