Crimes like this baffle me. First of all, why? You would have to know someone willing to buy "hot" bees. Second, this is no snatch and grab, the chances of getting caught in the act are very good. If you don't have a ready customer where do you hide them. I'm thinking if you want to be a thief there are definitely more profitable ways to go. Well, good for the Canadian authorities and good for beekeepers in the area. Just hope the original owner/owners can recover their property.
