black bear advice

I'm having frequent bear visits, during daylight to my chicken yard/coop. I also have a colony of honeybees, and a bear will wipe them out. They haven't eaten any livestock yet, but one got some eggs today, and they will. I plan to take some more permanent measures (extending the invisible dog fence, and installing an electric fence), but the labor may need to be postponed a few days. Anyone have suggestions as to how to deter black bears in the short term? Hair, Urine, any other hokey remedy?

PS I had a Game Commissioner recommend a sling shot and ball bearings as a teaching aid.
