Bears like to scavange and will eat just about anything. They do like sweets and will rob a bee hive. They consume huge amounts of calories which help them hibernate through the winter. Polar bears are not hibernating now because it has been too warm and also they cannot get enough nutrients to sleep that long because the ice shelves are melting.

yeah, i did read something about polar bears eating too much when it's not winter so they wouldn't get hungry too easily during the cold season.

I think that its been proved dozens of times by dozens of photographers and scientists that all bears have a very sweet tooth. I remember seeing a photo a few years back of a polar bear with his head stuck in a syrup can. and I've personally seen a couple of cubs tearing apart an apiary's field of hives while their mother watched us mere humans from our safe distance

thanks for sharing this. i thought winnie the pooh's obsessive love for honey was just a fictional thing, you know, born out of the creator's imaginative mind, but it looks like it was really based on facts.
