Sadly thefts of hives is not unknown and has been a problem for many years. As for the quilts, well, it has been cold.
I would always recommend going to a reputable supplier, one known to your beekeeping association, because, as you say, they have a reputation to keep up, and people also know them personally. Our association will arrange for beginners to have swarms that have been collected, so a service to the public, and bees for the beginners. |
