Tree camera catches bear stealing honey
Print Edition
WORKERS at a nature reserve in southwest China’s Yunnan Province have finally identified a black bear as the prime suspect in the case of some stolen honey.
The bear raided a local farmer’s apiary in the reserve on the night of June 10, taking a beehive and damaging several others, Bi Zheng, an official with the Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve, said yesterday.
Workers with the reserve later found some bear prints and excrement in the woods near the apiary, but did not close the case until weeks later when they found that an infrared camera on a nearby tree had recorded the “thief.”
The footage showed the bear opening the lid of the hive with its mouth, then retreating when a swarm of bees flew out. After confirming the bees were gone, the bear returned and escaped with one of the hives.
Bi said now is the time for black bears to find food to prepare for hibernation.
