Ate 80 kilos of honey – bear devoured the entire beehive in northern Italy

Date:

In the northern Italian Dolomites province of Belluno, a brown bear ate 80 kilos of honey. The animal destroyed an entire beehive on Thursday night and ate a large amount of honey and honeycomb.

This was announced by the province of Belluno, where the bear was causing mischief. The surviving bees were lost these days due to bad weather in the area. The damage to the beekeeper is considerable.

Police were contacted to investigate the ‘crime scene’. She discovered footprints and scratches that looked like a bear. The perpetrator could be a wandering male looking for new territory and could be originally from Trentino.

Camera traps set up
Officers have placed several camera traps in the area. The migration of bears in the region is well known: on the night of May 9, one specimen was detected in the municipality of Vigo di Cadore. Police recommend beekeepers check their beehives daily, especially if they are far from home.
