Bears Kept Stealing Mans Honey, So He Offers Options In A Taste Test

If you can't beat 'em -- join 'em! Or something along those lines...

Meet Ibrahim Sedef, an agricultural engineer, living in Trabzon, Turkey. Sedef works in beekeeping, and has been having a problem lately protecting that precious and delicious honey from all the bears in his area. Through various different attempts, the bears kept finding ways to reach the hives. It seemed like there was nothing he could do to protect the hives from the lickerish bears... until he came up with a creative way to make the best out of this situation.

Turn the bears into test tasters.
