Bear dug through home's insulation to get honey

A black bear in Juneau, Alaska, didn't let a home's insulation keep him from getting at some honey.



On Wednesday a male bear with an Alaska Department of Fish and Game tag #151 wandered up the stairs to the home of Janet and Donald Kussart, and pulled apart the boards on the side of the house.

The bear proceeded to claw away at the siding as bees buzzed around his face, sticking his nose and mouth into the space in the wood. He appeared to eat the insulation as he dug his mouth into the cotton candy-like material.



Satisfied with his honey meal, the bear ambled away. Ira Winograd, a resident of the home next door, later noted, “He must have smelled the beehive that wasn’t visible under the porch, and started tearing up the porch to go after the bees.”
