Keeping Your Hives Safe
April 11, 2013
I recently talked to Davey about hive theft. Tons of beekeepers
send their hives to California every year to pollinate crops, so thieves have
been going after unattended hives. There are some beekeepers that use GPS devices
on their hives, but that is quite a large expense for a beekeeper to absorb.
Davey’s advise if you are renting your hives out for pollination is to get on a
plane and fly to where your bees will be. Try to meet the farmers and workers
that will interact with your hives. Don’t send your hives to people you don’t know
or trust because you may not get them back.
