I live in black bear countryā¦ many of my beekeeping neighbors experience bear raids even when they put up chain link fence and electric fence barriers. They still get raided. I have never put up fencing and havenāt put up electric wireā¦ I have been using flashing lights for 11 years and havenāt been raided. I have seen black bear on my motion activated game cameras (knock on wood) my luck continuesā¦ here is my YouTube Video showing what i use:
They are available on Amazon? I have such a hard time getting my fellow bee keepers to even try it! I hope some of you will

Oh thank you, so glad you liked itā¦ the music is licensed through SmartSound Musicā¦ they are a royalty free music provider. thanks again!
One member of my Bee Keeping group says he has the answer on how to ātrainā bears to leave your hives alone. take at least one bull clip for each side or mire for long runs. Then place a piece of bacon in the clip, not a large piece just big enough to fill the clip. What this does is create a distraction to the bear. When they approach the hive the smell of bacon makes them curios. swhen they try to sniff or lick the bacon they get stunned and leave.
The bears fur is too thick to really fell the shock of the fence but their tongue or nose will definitely fell the shock.
He has been doing it for years and his house has the state forest where all of New Jerseys caught bears are relocated.
Hope this helps!

I am certainly glad our drop bears donāt like honey. Iām not sure how you would go about fencing off a hive from them!

We have many customers in bear country. One gentleman in Colorado whoād tried everything else, including electric fences with bait, found that the only consistent method of stopping bears in his apiary was to place thick floormats ā the kind youād find to cushion your feet ā with nails stuck upwards through them all around his hives. The bears, once they step on a nail, give up and flee.

We donāt have bears where Iām at, so I donāt have experience, but over the years he sent me photos of his beautiful hives in pieces after bears got to them. After multiple years of this he decided extreme measures were necessary! So far heās never reported a failure with this method!
Fred,
Are these flashing lights on all the time flashing ? Or are they motion activated ? How many battery n what size. Looks like a great addition for intruder defense. Thanks for vid ! Gerald
They are solar powered and only come on at night, but you can turn them off completely for storage, there is a switch on the back. There is also a replaceable rechargeable AA battery inside, but that will last for many years.
Fred,
Sounds like great product ! Iāll pass product idea to others in rural spots that deal with a few bears from time to time. Gerald 
Glad to help Geraldā¦ I have tested another repellent system that also works on bears, but is a little more expensive. Here is the video showing how it works BEARS do NOT Like noiseā¦ CLICK HERE to view the system. Please share with anyone who may want to protect a small area, this wouldnāt be good for large apiaries.

watched your video, very curious as to exactly what a Tennesee _fainting_goat is? Nice opening sequenceā¦but would love to have seen the bear you saw on security camera
Hi Kirstenā¦ a Tennessee Fainting goat is a goat breed that faintsā¦ or more accurately just topples over when startled or even overly happyā¦ itās really a myotonic genetic trait which causes all of their muscles to contract at once, so they may just stand perfectly still, or topple.
The black bear video is on my YouTube channelā¦ just look at my list of videos and you should find it easily.

So they do exist, if it had been April Foolsā¦
Iāll post my bear fencing in this thread.
This is at the back of my lower garden that has stud-fencing to keep elk and deer out. A friend kept bees years ago in our meadow near this garden and after 2 years of bears destroying, moved his hives elsewhere.
We tried electric fencing. We still have electric fence up around house gardens. Electric fence does not really scare a bear until you put bacon on it and let it hurt itās mouth and nose! Otherwise itās fur is too thick.
Thatās our findings, from the foothills of Colorado!. Weāre hoping this fence will do the job!!
