How bored do you have to be to steal bees?

Most people won’t even go near bees let alone try and steel them.

Local law enforcement is investigating the theft of nearly 100 beehives — each reportedly holding more than 50,000 bees — from an orchard in northern California.

Beekeeper and owner of Pottsy’s Pollination, Mike Potts, said that the hives, which are used to pollinate almond orchards just south of Yuba City, were discovered missing on Jan. 17.

Potts estimated that the some 92 hives which is approximately one third of his operation and would cost him about $44,000 in revenue.

“The hives were kind of moved around, the pallets in the background were all, basically they were set down and they just pulled all the hives off the pallets,” he explained.

He told KCRA-TV it was “frustrating” for him.

“It’s hard enough keeping the bees alive without someone stealing them,” Potts said.

Potts, who is actually based in Oregon, suspects that another beekeeper who lost bees could be potentially responsible for this theft, as well as previous thefts.
