With black bear sightings in recent days in Natick, Newton, Wayland, Arlington, and Lexington, we were feeling a bit left out in Wellesley.
But sure enough, a black bear visited Wellesley today.
Resident Tom Ahern says the bear ambled down the Sudbury Path into his family’s backyard. The bear “checked out our hens, basketballs laying in the woods area, then made his way up our driveway to cross Great Plain. No doubt he was really there for the honey from Nichole’s bees.”
Ah yes, those bees.

Now that’s the right spirit to report the sighting of the furry friend. Unlike other towns where there were warnings , this one is welcoming and fun !
The bear was pretty chill. Plus, it’s really their home- I’m a fan of nature fighting back against humans tearing down the habitat.
