I live in Cattaraugus County in NY State..and we are apparently experiencing a "bearplosion" these days. My friend Mike, who has hundreds of bee hives (apiary) told me just yesterday, that every one of his installations has suffered bear depredation.
An old friend who has a small general farm nearby my home, posted a video of her back porch, identifying the thief who stole her bird feeders of her back porch..
Many such reports coming in..
