In the clip, the bear enjoys the tempting honey despite the buzzing of raging bees around it.
Remember the cute cartoon character Winnie the Pooh who loved to eat honey? Now, a video has gone viral in which sloth bears are seen climbing onto an overhead water tank to fetch some honey from a hive.
In the clip uploaded on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Sushant Nanda, a bear can be seen going up the spiral stairs of an overhead tank. As the camera tilts upward, we see another bear already on top and reaching a beehive. The animal proceeds to grab a piece of the beehive and taste the tempting honey despite the swarming of bees raging around it.
“The sloth bear’s footsteps to the beehive shows the animal’s perseverance and determination for its favorite food,” the IFS officer wrote.

It reminded many of the iconic cartoon character Winnie the Pooh.
It reminds me of the first “Pooh Bear” cartoon show

One user cautioned that it “could be dangerous for the creators of this video”.
Thank you. This can be dangerous for the video creators.

Meanwhile, a person came with a suggestion.
Instead throw “fruit seeds” plants in the forest/mountains which will help them to eat their favorite food/fruits which will attract more bees… if you get time please plant fruit trees in that area!!
