June 7: The electric fence

June 7, 2014:

I'm about to leave for a trip to Greece with my mother, and I've been told that bears have been sighted in the neighborhood.  Last year a black bear got into my mentor's hives and caused horrible damage.  I'm a bit paranoid about this, enough so that I decided to invest in a solar-powered battery and electric fence.  With the invaluable and tireless help of my husband Ken and our 11-year-old son Sam, the whole fence was erected in a day.  But what an enormous amount of work.  The bees were mostly very patient with all of this, even the banging-in of posts.
