As backyard beekeeping grows more popular, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has offered to keep residents’ honey safe from bears and will provide materials for simple, effective electrified enclosures to protect small-hive operations.
A short instructional video that shows how to assemble and operate the enclosures is available at http://bit.ly/2qgv2Fy.
Beekeepers who live within Durango city limits should review the rules for electric fencing.
For more information, call Colorado Parks and Wildlife at 252-6007.
