Cheaper than replacing boxes and genetics though...

RAST! Go to the store. Buy a bear fence. Go home, put it up. Get a good nights sleep! Do It!

Moved 5 hives yesterday to make smaller fence footprint, post are there, ready to be put in. Fence energizer to be in today but supposed to take 5 days of full sun to charge the battery. Nothing but rain and clouds right now with possible hurricane/tropical storm the first of the week. At least moving the hives in the rain made them find a home real fast, may not have been the one they came out of, but they found them one.

Maybe the storms will bring your hives up here where we don't have bears.  :o :o ;D

 Looks like these storms are just passing on by. I guess all your bears go up on the Parkway and stop traffic for fun.
