🐻 We Had a Visitor This Afternoon!

So this happened right behind our Tumwater office today and we had to share it. A black bear paid us a visit out back, and honestly? Pretty cool wildlife moment. The good news is our honeybees were completely unbothered (smart bear), and the bear moved on without any drama.

If you're in the area, just a heads up to be mindful over the next little while:

🐾 Keep an eye on pets when letting them outside, especially in the early morning and evening hours

🌻 Bring in or secure any bird feeders, as they're a major attractant for bears

🗑️ Make sure trash cans are secure before putting them out

Bears are naturally curious and generally just passing through looking for an easy meal. As long as we don't give them one, they'll keep moving. We alerted neighbors in the area and wanted to make sure our community had the heads up too.

Because that's what neighbors do. 🐝
