Fighting the Rise of Bee Rustlers

I bet locking the thieves in a small room with a hive or two, and then play painfully loud music would garner more than a frown.:shhhh:So sad that shooting thieves is frowned upon
I think for themselves...I certainly would never accept stolen bee hives and I know nobody on this forum, or any beekeeper for that matter, would buy them...I agree with the 9mm solution, or, the "bait" Africanized bees! What a sight that would bee!Out of curiosity where is the black market for bee hives? I've never had a shady character come up to me and say "hey--buddy, you looking for some bees? I know a guy that can hook you up."
....and who is most affected by CCD?I thought there was some sort of agreement to not let beekeeper like these talk to the media?
"and say that colony collapse disorder is really a case of “piss-poor beekeeping.”
There certainly is a whole stack of them isn't there?Hate to say it, but sounds like another good reason not to truck your bees to California...
Yup................pretty much. Thieves are nothing more than terrorists. If you are worried about bringing bees to California for almond pollination due to the chance of having your hives stolen........you have been terrorized.Which evidently means bee rustlers are considered a form of life on par with SHB and other parasites.
