Now that pollination season is underway, there have already been reports of hive thefts. Beekeepers take their bees into orchards to pollinate crops and their hives go missing. Hive theft is a big problem that has gone on for years and unfortunately with the large bee losses that are occurring, it seems they might get even more common. Even hives that are clearly marked have been stolen. Some beekeepers have GPS chips in their hives to track them if they go missing, but that is another expense that beekeepers must consider. It seems like this might be the only way to recover lost bees.
