Might be like that bear that John Candy shot in the Great Outdoors!
I have bears - lots of them. Only had my elevated cable bird feeder system tore down once in the 6 yrs there. I fixed that.
And I have honey bees - total of 4 bee hives. That has been kept safe by a 5 strand hot fence. Works just fine. First strand of wire is 4 to 5 inches off the ground. Keeps the coons and skunks out. And one can tell when a skunk was there and got zapped.....
So far so good. And I have pictures of bears standing at the fence looking in. So far so good.
