Bear got me last year. Found a recommendation from Bob Binne's KZfaq channel. Installed a 3 wire fence using t posts. Top and bottom wire are hot. Middle wire is ground. Top two wires are insulated from the t posts, middle wire is grounded to all the posts. Make sure you use a 30 mile charger or higher. Haven't had a problem since.

I’ll definitely look into that video, I know I’ve seen it in my feed. Thanks for the recommendation Ken! It’s going to be an interesting year with it being dry. Bears might be more hungry this year than normal 👎🏼 Thanks for watching Ken!

A livestock trailer can be a great means of keeping the bears at bay. They’re well ventilated (bees can come n go freely) and very sturdy. You can put quite a few hives in there!

I scratch my head sometimes at KZfaq and their 'algorithm'.🤦♂️🤷♂️ You have a great channel putting out amazing content.. should have at least 50k subs by now.. Just continue to be consistent with your content, and you will break that damned algorithm.. 👍🐱🏍 Thanks for sharing!

Oh most definitely for this location , we were at 4,500 ft and for this area that’s hot! Wasn’t expecting that when we arrived there. We deal with 100+ in the valley and have become pretty acclimated already, we are dealing with some higher temps this week with 110+ for about a week. Early work is the way to do it so you have it down👌🏼 I went out last night to drop feed cans at midnight and it was 90 all through night. It’s been rough for these girls. What time do you normally get started if you stop at 9am?
@DStewart20223 жыл бұрын
@@TheCaliforniaBeekeeper Just giving you a hard time brother. I would LOVE to have those 4k elevation and views though. With those temps and low humidity, I suppose even weedeating poses some high fire risks. It's not really our 95+ temps that get me as much as the 60-75% humidity that kills me. Sweat won't dry and clothing chafes... Only 25 hives so if I start around 6am I can zip through them pretty quick.
