It's a cliché that happens to be true: Bears love honey. And in Maryland, lawmakers have passed a bill making it legal to shoot a black bear if it threatens a beekeeper's hive.
In February, state Del. Mike McKay testified before the Environment and Transportation Committee on behalf of the bill. He wore a vest festooned with the image of Winnie the Pooh.
Del. Herb McMillan noted McKay's attire didn't seem to square with his arguments. "I know you came in here talking about Winnie the Pooh, but the gist of the bill is that you can shoot him," McMillan said, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Sad that we need to shoot a bear for being a bear
No bees = no pollination = no food. Bears make good rugs and some people eat them too.
maybe the farmers need to fix the hives so bears cant get into them....fix a box, save a bear.
5:01 Don't get out of the basement much do you? Google bear proof food containers.
