Is that a compost heap? We had a bear visit a couple weeks ago but not since. Now that we're back in the bee business its more than a interesting occurrence. I've got a strong fence but I'm going to have to add electric and sardine cans.

I was guessing a fire enclosure, but I don't know, you may be right.

Maybe the sardine cans are for hanging on the fence, to rattle when the bear comes over/under, might turn him around, I suppose...I'd think the sardine stank might actually draw the bears.

I was thinking the sardine smell would cause the bears to snuffle and maybe lick, the electrified can?

Exactly. There is almost no fence that can stop a determined bear so you have to scare the bejesus outa them. Electric does not deter someone in a bear suit unless they make wet tongue contact or are convinced to pee on it.
