Bears receiving shocks from electric fence

- Defending my beehives, the electric fence usually wins in the end. No bears were harmed.
With the very hot weather in western Canada during the summer of 2021 the berry crop was poor and many bears were displaced by the many wildfires. We had dozens of visits from black bears that year.
The fence has been improved upon since. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
When I was young, my parents took me to visit a relative on a farm. As they went inside, I ran to the back to see the pigs. I wondered why such a small wire could hold those pigs in. I grabbed the wire to put my leg over the fence. The relatives, realizing I had gone to the back were screaming at me to stop. But I didn’t hear them soon enough. What a learning experience for Me. Now, I know why the little wire held the pigs in.😊
when we were kids walking to the school bus we'd walk along an electric fence. With our rubber soled shoes we'd touch the wire and see who was "man enough" to hang on the longest. It wasn't that bad of a shock, and it happend in repeated pulses. But then one day while I was holding onto it the dog came up from behind me and licked my other hand. . . with his bare feet nice and grounded.
Then what happened?@@snap-off5383
Found out the same thing for horses
Bullshit fake human
@@snap-off5383lol yup its not the voltage that will kill you its the current
You should put some honey on the wires. They should get the message after they lick the wire a few times.
My grandfather did precisely that ... rubbed the wires with honey. The sane bear, after three licks and three electric jolts never returned.
You should put Honey on yur little Prick JERK & let the Bear lick it offff !
@@mikelang8020 My sense is that you know what you are talking about.
Perhaps l am wrong, but it looked like at least one of them already licked the fence and it made no real difference. Maybe it takes a few times before they get the message.
Put honey on it and increase the voltage
Some stubborn critters. They definitely don't give up easily
Just blast that nuisance
Thats when you bring out the 12 gauge slugs
I would look at you if your food reservoirs and habitat would be eliminated 😂 how stubborn would you be?
In all slavic languges the name for a bear is honey eater
These animals r dying n u idiots don’t realize that consequences
I’ve learned that with electric fencing if you put strips of aluminum foil wrapped tightly on the wire in different spots, then put peanut butter on the foil..they go for a lick and get a nice electric zap to their tongue. Seems to train the dear around my place.
Lol that's awesome. I'd call this clever and sneaky method of bear prevention.
You spelled deer and bear together and got dear 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND Oops. But that is what we grow in Idaho. 😎
@@alexrodgers9247 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
your a sadist get professional help
that confirms it, bears don't like electric fences.
Yup, it´s pretty unpleasant - the closer to the head, the bigger impact it has. Once I´ve got shocked into neck and my head hurt as hell afterwards.
It also confirms that bears still get through electric fences to damage the hives. LOL
@@Icehso140 That was quite SHOCKING realization for me, too!
I wonder if it would be better if they would use net-like pattern than just lines. But then it would entangle the bear or he would rip it down.
If Smokey the Bear made more money stamping out forest fires, he could afford to buy the honey like I have too. LOL@@miroslavzima8856
😂
Damn, the first ones went right under the fence! So much for those back packing bear fences...
just need a few more amps
If a bear wants something, it is going to get it....most of the bears in the video were just curious and looking for easy food.
If they are easily getting through the fence more often than not & trying to tip them over, then some options are ... 1. increase voltage, 2. narrow the vertical distance between the wires, 3. add more poles where the lines are longest so the wires are more taut/tight, 4. maybe make fence perimeter farther away from beehives. And maybe possibly ... 5. add another outer electric fence about a foot apart from first/inner fence.
I wondered if the bottom wire was too close to the ground and maybe touching it and grounding out. The wires are close enough that they should not be getting through without a good buzz. I would do #5 also.
@@juliemiscera267 ... It is also possible the adult bears are already getting desensitized by the present voltage level as witnessed in the video, so perhaps also #1.
the ground around the fence could be too dry and not providing a good earthing to the electric current
Or put honey in the wires
If the bottom wire is too low, the grass grows up and touches it. Once the grass lays on the wire, it drains a bit of power away from the rest of the lines. Always use weed killer around electric fencing..............or weed eat a lot.
Electric fences pulse every second. So a lucky bear can touch the fence sometimes or quickly slide under it between pulses and not get zapped. Animals who are used to electric fences learn to tell when the fence is switched on. They can probably hear it pulsing.
I can hear it too
as a kid I used to be able to see the pulsing
I'm all for exhausting non-lethal deterrence, but they are stubborn and persistent. If I had that level of problem I'd set up a motion alert and have manual control on a line voltage connection to the fence. They'd think twice about returning after an episode of getting knocked flat for a few minutes.
Black bears keep coming back. If you use bear spray in camp, they run off and ten minutes later they're back. Not so for grizzlies. Blackies are much more persistent.
Good idea, 5 amps will knock them over, a car battery will provide that.
Using line voltage is illegal.
Thats hectic to treat bears with such disrespect. They are only trying to figure out what is going on with the fence and boxes. Curiousity that is. In reality what you want to do is shoot them with a non lethal dart gun and knock them out that way then transport a few miles away to get them away from this situation. Saying you would want to shock them with even more voltage is very inhumane!
@@yorkshire_saddlehunter184 Relocation does not work. Nuisance animals that are a threat to life, property and livestock are typically eliminated. Bears are intelligent, persistent and stubborn. A strong force that causes them no permanent harm and educates them is better than the alternative.
Black bears truly are the most majestic and adorable raccoons! 🐻❤️
Got that right
raccoons on roids
Those bees must be jumping for joy everytime they see the bears got zapped.😂
bees don't jump, they happy-hover
For the love of Honey!
They can smell it even inside a beehive. What a refined nose!
Watching current flow is always a joy!
I think dull barbs on the wires would get the charge past the fur and directly on the skin. That would make the fence much more effective.
"Hey Yogi, ..is that a Bunch of Bees in a box, I'll bet that's just loaded up with handfuls of 🍯 Honey!".
"Yep, Boo-boo.. ..you go First!".
"Okay, Yogi", ⚡⚡⚡
"Ahhhh ShhhhjTt!"
Yogi -. 😂😆😂😆😂
😂😂
I got my first beehive on July 2nd this year and I am so glad I don't have black bears to deal with. Winter is the Biggest threat to my bees besides having my DUMBASS as a beekeeper
👍
I know someone who set there gives on steel plates. Them put fence on plates. 100% ground then. Bears went backwards quick with this set up.
It's nice to meet you, friend. That fence is super important for anyone who wants their bee hive to survive! It was interesting that they seemed to be trying to get the rock off of the top of the hive, once they were inside. It's a good thing that fence stopped them! Thank you for sharing! Very interesting video. I wish you continued success and happiness always.
Thank you.
Can’t they read the sign?
The sign says not to put your hand on the fence. Bears don't have hands, so they ignore it.
@@wizardsuth They got paws
No it's too dark out
bear burgers sounds yummy
Slow Roast..
That’s like luring us into a steakhouse and then tasing you the moment you catch a whiff of the your favorite cut sizzling on the grill! 😃⚡️🤪😳🤨 👀🦇out of🔥and I ain’t coming back!…..No sir I’m taking business down the road to the Outback yard grille!🤣
Good lord brother! You are lucky you had that electric fence up otherwise you wouldn't have any standing bee hives left shew-wee
Add bacon to the wire with a clothes pin. Their tongue is better to use than their fur
Thats exactly what
"Fuck around and find out" means
Great job on protecting their bees.
that must be some damn fine honey to go to all that effort and trouble to get it and protect it
Have you purchased honey at a store?
I had a run in with an electric fence when i was 8. It was at my grand parents farm. Learned my lesson to be careful where you piss lol.
That's a lie.
@@Katchi_Reported to TH-cam for spamming harassment for no reason.
Electric fences never sleep.
I get this silly giggle when see them get zapped then back off and run away.
Shocking that it worked on bear.
Pooh bear just wanted some honey
Just a SMMMMALLLL SMACKEREL!
@@williampapadopoulos8145 lol . Yep. I laughed so hard dude. That's a gooden.
Their pain resistance is quite terrifying i must say.
Seems like they need to add a few rows of razorwire and electrify that as well.
Boo Boo is that you?
🤔What's wrong with these things? There is a warning sign in plain view and they are still messing with the wires.
Black bears can be so goofy
Looking for pic-a-nic baskets.
Cool how he bolted, told his buddies and they ALL came to to play the "Honey, I Shocked My Butt" game!!
👍
They would be table fare by now in my neck of the woods.
That is a ton of bears!!! Wow!!!
Fence 58 was cover for the medusa hairs runs
Considering how many bears were getting near those hives, I'd say they made a good investment with those fences.

The box said “Intel inside”.
This service technician was just trying to check the motherboard …
I feel sad that the bears are hungry, but I am still laughing. One time as kids, we thought if we held hands and touched the fence only one person would feel the shock, so we tried, and all of us got shocked, so naive and funny. We didn't get hurt really, must a little shock, but we all screamed! This is a great set up, and I like bees, so I am glad they survived!
👍
I also feel sad that I am hungry. It happens every day.
The bears are being lazy..looking for a good easy snack
@@hobsonbeeman7529 Read the description on the video. They were facing severe food source shortages that year, which drove them to seek out other options. Not lazy, just trying to survive.
Bears by their very nature are lazy, always looking for a handout. They remind me of democrats.
Seems like a net mesh would work better than horizontal wires in this case. Bears are smart and they've learned they can rush the wire and avoid getting shocked. Fur probably prevents skin contact, too. Combine with a physical barrier to create a visual deterrent so the wiring can't be bullrushed.
Poor things. They couldn’t bare the shock.
Increasing the voltage will definitely help. Changed the mind of deer getting in my garden. Put black plastic or mine belt down tight on the ground under the lower strand to keep weeds off.
The floor should have an electrified mesh and maybe a siren and a powerful flash of light, together with it.
The bears has earned passive "electric resist" skill. 😂
A few hundred thousand years later . . .
Risk.
Reward
.Shoking.
Needs more wire apparently
That elec fence is not rigged up right. You are relying on the earth through the ground to zap the bear, that is hopeless, if the ground is dry the bear only gets a small shock. For better results you have to have one earth wire on the bottom, then 6 inches up put a hot wire ( positive), then another 6 inches another earth wire, then another 6 inches another hot wire and keep alternating until you get the desired height finishing with a hot wire. That way when the bear stick’s its head in and tries to force the wires apart, the bears snout is creating a direct short, and feels the full power of the zapp.
Look, if you are willing to stick your face into a beehive, what’s a little shock?
Increase the voltage
Not to change the subject. After watching some videos of people being attacked by bears this should serve as an example of how persistent a predator can be. If I was out hiking or camping I'd keep a 9mm or 45 cal at my side along with a pump action shot gun to improve mine and those around me chances of survival.
'American'? . . .
@@TRPGpilot When out in the wild it is good to have a gun just in case. Do you come from a country where this isn’t an option?
Probably talking more about just starting a conversation about guns. @@joeterp5615
@@joeterp5615 yes
In Canada when people go into areas with bears they usually carry bear bells, bear barkers (a sort of firework) and bear spray. We don't want to kill the bears, just fend them off.
What exactly is the new information from the beginning of last week again?
lol they want that honey so bad though, this is funny :D
I wonder if an obnoxious smell combined with the shock would help condition the bears to smell scent associated with shock and not return or re-attempt to get the honey? Perhaps as your description says, with many migrant bears visiting that would not be useful in that scenario.
The comment concerning a metal pole made previously seems promising an approach (combined or alternative) to note.
Thank you for the interesting behavioural footage.
You are welcome. Glad you liked it.
Metal poles and elevated hives wouldn't work. I have to routinely check hives, moving frames and honey supers. Not to mention moving 40 lbs. honey supers to collect honey from at the end of the season.
An obnoxious smell...an obnoxious smell...hmmmm...I guess you could strap Amy Schumer to one of the posts. Would that be considered animal cruelty or human cruelty? Or just...necessity is the mother of inventions?
Good video!
Yogi's reaction is shocking!
Honey 🍯 is in the boxes?
They just have to grin and bear it. 🐻
That must be primo honey for real
Put the wires closer together so when they try and go underneath it really zaps them and turn the power up
How many volts? I have a bear that keeps messing up my deer feeders
Thanks for your interest.
I use a Gallagher M120 energizer which delivers 10,000 volts DC at about 200 mA, 150 mS each second. Total length of all the 14 g wire is about 100 meters. I think it comes out to about 1 joule. I now use six hot and two neutral wires which can deliver the greatest shock. Most of the shocks they received in the video were from them grounding out to the earth (probably about 8000 volts) which was still very effective. The problems I've had were due to the wire not being tense enough. Bears, with their thick coats, are well insulated against shocks if they don't have to push firmly against the wires. The fence can't mechanically keep them out, just needs to be tough enough to stand their efforts to push through. Use solid wood corner posts. Some people will bait their fence with sardines on a wire to educate the bears at the start. Understand I don't like hurting them, especially the cubs of this year. I just wanted to keep them from my bees.
Update: bears still come around but now they essentially ignore my apiary.
Good luck.
I have heard you can use solar powered fence charger, isolate the feet of the deer feeder for a couple feet with pvc pipe. One ground rod and beer will move on to the next property.
Bump up the zap to 20,000 volts, use old neon sign transform. It low current so won’t hurt or kill but will zap the hell out of them. I used one as a kid to build a jacobs ladder and i stopped when I got zapped.
Made one with an old oil furnace spark transformer. It had quite a bite, at 10KV. Worked cool, and annoyed every radio within a hundred feet.
@@birdfeeding fortunately I lived on a farm in the sticks, but the neon sign transformer didn’t seem to produce RF, only when doing the jacobs ladder built out of coat hangers did it interfere with my radio on am only.
@@gomergomez1984 Yes, that's when it interfered with the radio. I should have been more specific.
@@birdfeeding That’s ok, I was so fascinated by mine I tried different items to see what would happen, worked great until I tried burning a pencil while holding it by the eraser, i quickly learned that graphite is conductive, I was knocked stupid, saw stars and heard buzzing for a half hour or so, though it might have been my best friend laughing so hard he couldn’t talk.
But high voltage can “kill” by disrupt normal functions of the animal. Though ig doesnt matter cuz not human.
Not nearlyy enough juice on that fence.
Владелец сэкономил на проволоке. Нужно было для такого маленького объекта ставить обычную сплошную сетку. А не редкие провода. Тогда медведь не сможет пролезть. Провода ставят для огромных полей, чтобы не тратить сетку.
Это провода под напряжением.
It might be too costly or too permanent but could you elevate the beehives on a platform on a strong metal pole accessable only by ladder?they cant climb a steel tube can they?
Thanks for your interest. It was a wild season, for sure.
No they can't climb metal poles. Metal poles and elevated hives wouldn't work. I have to routinely check hives, moving frames and honey supers. Not to mention moving 40 lbs. honey supers to collect honey from at the end of the season.
You know they can smell the electric fence yet have to touch it hahahahaha. Just like a little kid when you tell them the pan is hot, they don't truly know what you mean until they touch it.
Bear: WTF?! Is this fence made out of hornets?
Owner of a hungry heart... Yeoh!!!! Zappity zap zap zap zap zapit... These bears have a honey habit...
That delicious honey is so hard to resist!
The smell of honey may attract the bear but, they really want the protein of the larva and bees. This is also true of skunks and raccoon.
@@wwisaacson4807 👍
The bears did get to the boxes.
They should add land mines around it
Very stubborn reminds me of my x
Them thangs big and fast af that’s scary
Either that's one or two DETERMINED bears of this person definitely has a bear problem!! lol
It's the way they turn & run 😂 why do animals do that lol!
My question is why haven't they ran the wires in a box pattern
I don't know if that's persistence or just slow learners?😅
Reminds me of shoplifters...it seems that this could work for specific items.
👍
So why is not the fence completely around the hives so they can't get in at all
Go Bees 🐝
They should also put barb wire fencing around now that would also keep them away
Las protecciones electricas caen ji ji ji como todo como todo
It helps to turn the Electricity on!
It looks like you need to up the Voltage, lol
Bears said hey im came here to hump day thing but dang got shocked.
honey to my eyes
i would have build a giant 3ft bee to pop out of that hive with a motion sensor LOLOL
Perfect
Why didn’t they read the sign?
Man they really want those bees lol.
Honey*
I need that baby bear♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I think If I had that level of problem, I would add a second electric fence around the first. have just enough space between the 2 that they would be touching one as son as the other is off them.
1:01 that sound✌️🤣
Satisfying
