Serious damage to apiaries by black bears continued during 1973. A damage survey and bear control program v^as established to provide comprehensive data on the extent and distribution of damage and to remove individual problem bears. Three hundred and thirty-seven damage complaints were investigated. Estimates of loss are 150,000 dollars for the. May to August summer period and about 200,000 dollars for the entire season. Loss per bear attack during the summer months was 289 dollars. One hundred and eighty-two bears were removed by leg-snaring, culvert-trapping and shooting. In addition approximately 200 bears were removed by beekeepers. Only two of 20 experimental electric fences were penetrated by bears throughout the summer.
