I was recently invited to put a few colonies on a tree farm about 3 min from my current apiary. I happily agreed and got to work building it yesterday. Anyone in my area knows that digging is not an easy task because of all the rock we have here. Well, putting T-posts and 8’ grounding rods in isn’t much easier. Please excuse the crooked t-posts, they started out straight but, the rocks had other plans. Why did I need an electric fence you may ask. Well, black bears are very common in my area. While nothing will keep out a determined bear, electric fence is a little more insurance…
