The most of the time bears like to eat different things from the wood. In the early spring when they get up from a winter's sleep,they eat green grasses and tree sprouts. the late summer and fall they eat berries fruits and fish. Sometimes if there is not a lot of food around they will eat inner bark of tree. Bears have a real sweet tooth for honey. They love to eat it any time,they don't mind being chased by a swarm of bees to get it.
