I oppose to the notion that Beornings should be able to turn into bears. Only a few were actual shape shifters. Many of the Beorning people were men of the Vales, who rallied behing Beorn and a few of his kinsmen. The ancient heritage of Beorn and his kin may have been the source of his ability, and that of some others, to shift shape ... or some kind of magic touch (some Maia who intervened at some point, we can only guess), but that ability should not dominate the abilities of the Beornings faction that emerged at the end of the third age, on the remnants of scattered tribes of men of the mountains, the vales and the woods of the region surrounding the northern Anduin.

Do correct me if I'm wrong.
