Bruin eats the Hornets' Nest




With this video, I can scratch one  camera trapping project from my bucket list. Some years ago I figured out that black bears hit the hornets' nests rather hard in late summer. The few nests that I found were a little too lively for camera trapping. I owe this adventure to my neighbor Ted seems to have a knack finding tame nests. Anyway, the video tells the story, and I hope you enjoy it.
