Hope to see you back soon, I usually take a break in the summer :)

its explained better here "PROTECTING AN INDIGO OR VIOLET POT FROM BLACK BEARS
When the bear is spotted, it will take the honey from the furthest pot to the left which it is able to take it from.  To protect an indigo or violet pot from being taken by a Black Bear, keep the indigo/violet pot to the RIGHT of a pot which is made by all-red, all-orange, all-yellow, all-green or all-blue bees.  That way, if a Black Bear comes it cannot take the indigo/violet pot and so will take the lower colour of pot, leaving the indigo or violet pot in your garden to use again.
"

Because the bears are long-stayers, they can be programmed in very early.  But if you let the bear be spotted too early, the chances are there won't have been time for twins/triplets to be programmed.  If you can babysit your garden, ask your visitors not to water for the first 55 - 60 minutes that the food is out - that seems to be enough time to get all three plates programmed.  Once the time is up, you can send your pots to storage (because once the bears are programmed in, they will come regardless of whether the pots are still in the garden) and when the bears come, they won't take the honey and you can re-use the pots.
