This bear was able to reach through an electric fence with a paw. He tried to pull the hive to the fence but it tipped over and he was unsuccessful. I was told that the bees were not pleasant when being "saved" by the beekeeper.
Bears will reach in fences, tunnel under the wires, and climb a tree to jump into the fenced bee yard. Beekeepers beware. This was in the east metro.
