Bear relocated for stealing honey…really

Montana grizzly bear was relocated for soothing the ‘rumbly in his tumbly’

GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) — Far from the Hundred Acre Wood, a Montana grizzly bear was relocated for soothing the ‘rumbly in his tumbly’ by stealing honey from commercial hives.

State bear management specialist Mike Madel says it was surprising that the 4 1/2-year-old bear had wandered as far away as Simms, about 20 miles east of the Rocky Mountain Front.

In the fall, black and grizzly bears are constantly searching for food before they den for the winter. Madel figures that’s what brought the bear to the Simms area.
