Title: Beethief snapshot
Post by: Michael86 on November 27, 2013, 05:06:12 am

That was not the first time a thief stealed hives from our bee club. So our club chairman installed a phototrap with success. The picture of the thief showed in the local newspapers and the case came in radio too.
After months police got him  :-D
I never heard, what happend with this guy. Maybe he paid a fine, i think not he must go into prison....
I only know that he stealed hives, because he lost often his hives over winter. Well not a suprise he have never made a treatment against Varroa....

Greetings Michael

That's great, sounds like you'all know him?  You have his name and info already?
I HATE thieves, they never receive enough punishment from the system.

That's what pick-axe handles are for.
