Bears up close: noses, claws, dens, the honey myth and bear safety, sentence 13
Real bears raid bees' nests for the grubs as much as for the honey, because the grubs are full of protein and fat; thick fur protects most of the bear from stings, but not its nose.
Who acts: Real bears, grubs, thick fur · What happens: raid, be, protect · To what, where: nests, most
