THAT looks like a very heavy duty solution and looks like it’s also anchored in concrete? I know it’s way after the fact, but looking at it, did you consider using steele pipe welded together as a framework over wood? You can get nice long pipe segments as thick as you need them and they last for many decades. I would love to see some video of the bees zipping through the fencing/caging, How is that working out? Thanks for sharing and I’m sorry you had to go to this length to protect your colonies, I hope it works.
Cowgirl, I am just setting up my new hives, and wonder if your ‘Zareba’? electric fence is still holding the line against the bear for you?
Did you mean that that horse tape is the conductor for the unit?
How many volts is the supply?
