Bears |

Well after 13 years here the honeymoon is over. Last night I had a visit from a black bear. Today I started putting up an electric fence. Actually I would have finished it but I did not have enough insulators to finish. Oh well, Monday will see it done.
The bear did not do any real damage. He knocked over one hive and ran off when the bees got him. These Alaska bears don't understand about bees. I had to armor up to put the hive back together. Irritating since I do not normally wear any protection. I felt like I was working via remote control.

Tom;
The way this year appears to be going, that just adds insult to injury. I have not put of the fence yet myself, but I have been thinking of it. I have the electric fence power supply, but where did you get the fencing material?

I got mine years ago, but I think Lowes has stuff. Otherwise you can get it most any farm and garden type place, I expect. I got insulators at Lowes, yesterday but the rest of the stuff I already had.
