An adult, black bear has killed eight goats and destroyed three beehives at homes in Chesterville, Jay, New Sharon, Wilton and Vienna, the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife said Monday. There have been complaints from 10 residents, MDIFW spokesman Mark Latti said. The bear has been roaming the area for more than three weeks and appears to be working alone. Two bear traps have been set.
