I do enjoy this series of cartoons. They were short-lived and rather routine story-wise but I always found them funny and the characters likable. Beezy Bear is no exception, in fact it is one of the better ones featuring these three. The animation is beautiful and colourful with the backgrounds very fluid and the music is lively, fitting well with the mood of the physical humour, which while unforgettably hilarious is highly amusing indeed. The three characters elevate Beezy Bear too, with Donald delighting as ever with his temperament, Woodlore playing secondary to Donald and Humphrey but making his mark and Humphrey endearing and causing one to wonder why he wasn't in more cartoons. Clarence Nash voices Donald impeccably and Woodlore is made further memorable by the distinctive voice of veteran Bill Thompson.
Overall, great and one of the better cartoons featuring these three characters. 9/10 Bethany Cox

One of the better Donald vs. Humphrey vs. Ranger Woodlore cartoons
A battle of wits between Donald Duck and Humphrey-both woefully unarmed!
This short is a battle of wits. To be more accurate, it's a battle of half-wits and largely comes out a draw, though Humphrey could technically be called the bigger loser. As neither would ever be mistaken for a member of MENSA, their schemes and machinations don't go as planned. Delightful cartoon that's well worth seeking out, it plays periodically on The Ink and Paint Club. Recommended.
Donald vs. Humphrey.
Donald Duck is a beekeeper, trying to keep his hives of honey from being raided by Humphrey the Bear. Donald puts up a barbed wire fence in hopes of keeping the hungry Humphrey out, but that doesn't quite stop him.
This cartoon consists of some classic Donald humor - especially liked his quick temper and quacky voice during his frustrated moments. It's just funny seeing him going back and forth in protecting his hives from the bear, getting a smack of honey blasted in his face in the process.
The animation is colorful and detailed. It's nice to see that Donald doesn't completely get the brunt of the bad luck in this one.
