Jeff Bonner who owns a beekeeping business in Bazetta Township Ohio is upset that a bear managed to break into his home and steal one of his beehives and take it to the woods to eat the hive completely.
After the incident happened, Jeff contacted the Ohio Department Of Natural Resources who advised Jeff to have an electric fence installed and cameras installed to prevent bears from stealing his beehives.
It is evident that bears when they see food inside of an auto since we are spring and bears are hungry after taking their naps for the winter.

What a clever Bear.
I know that Bears do love Honey and who can blame them for that.
Maybe an electric fence would indeed be the answer

An electric fence would keep bears away.

I am also surprised that the bear ate the beehive as well

The bear didn't mind a beesting, or two, and perhaps he might even put up with a sting from an electric fence to get his honey too.

That is true since bears need to eat honey.
