Enclose fruit trees, livestock, or beehives with strong chain-link or electric fencing. Thin the bush on your property or create a break in natural bear pathways that lead to your house. Dispose of garbage regularly - don't stockpile it or it will begin to smell and attract bears. Never leave fish parts, meat bones, or other meat byproducts where a bear's sensitive nose can find them - keep them in your freezer until you can dispose of them properly. Sprinkle your compost with lime.
Lime aids the composting process, and also reduces the smell, discouraging bears.
Place beehives on a platform with an overhang more than two metres above the ground, or surround them with electric fencing. Don't set up beehives in the early spring when other bear foods are not yet abundant. Wire beehives together with metal strapping. The smell from cooking meat attracts bears. Store barbeques inside.
