That new controller will have enough snap! I ended up having to use five strands plus a ground level strand that's connected to ground. No bear problems with that arrangement.
I guess we don't have enough hunters anymore. Bears are spreading all over North America. Probably not all bad but I wish they would leave your hives alone. Those traps should get Mr Bear.
Bears were unheard of in our part of the world. A few years ago there were the odd sightings. This year we have identified 12 different bear. Four were cubs and the rest adults. Three of the adults are deceased. There are no bear hunters in our area. Bears are top of the food chain with no enemies. They will only increase.
