Actually, while bears do eat honey, they are really after the larvae (baby bees) because of their rich source of protein. We know this because when a bear damages apiaries (bee houses) they always eat that part but don't always eat all of the honey.


Most definitely yes! Bears will rip a tree trunk apart to get to a concentrated source of energy. They have a sweet tooth as much as any person!

Honey is actually a nature source diet to them.They don't just always eat plants,bears eat small animals such as a squirrel.They usually eat fish,plants,and berries. If you don't bother them they will leave you alone.But if you disturb them,then they could attack you.

Bears hibernate.Which means they sleep during the whole winter and eat lots of food in the summer to store it up while they sleep usually sleep in cozy caves.You will find a bear mostly in the woods,forests.or mountains.
it's actually the bee larvae they're after

Bears climb trees to get their honey, as they have sharp noses for it.

No. Black bears will climb trees for safety, especially the bear cubs.
