[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 659377, member: 6198"] Like i said we have a lot of bears. A guy who likes to fly in the area counted 9 on one quarter of land (160 acres). We have gotten DNR to trap and relocate them but that was before the hives. That year a bear took down a cow due to lack of feed. If you have a good fence with a strong current, bears are not usually a problem. And that is the key. Anything less than 5000v and a bear will walk through what ever you have. We put in a 5 ft ground rod, insulators on all the fence nails and insulated where ever the fence touched a post to get that 5000 cranks from a solar fencer. However, i have been known to take the shot gun with me in the spring while working hives. At that time the fish in the ditch quit running, the berries are not out yet, and i am alone working in the hives. [/QUOTE]
