I don't know about the bear bells though. I think the bears just spit them out.

PS. Can a bear be killed as varmin on private property? I seem to remember the info I got before moving down here said anything except moose & deer...but I could be wrong.

You may want to invest in some type of "bear proof" housing for your camera if you plan on keeping it set up over looking the apples. A curious bear or one that gets pissed off because some light keeps flashing in its face can turn your camera into dust!!!!
You can take the man out of the woods but you can't take the woods out of the man.

That's what ole Dan'l Boone used to step in!
Sorry, but I couldn't resist
Don't know about bears, as they are rare in my area, but I'd sure not put out edibles near the house! I'd bear-proof the garbage cans, and avoid leaving anything it might find tasty outside. I'd guess if there is no food around it will soon move on.
