Beehive bandit makes off with 57 hives, leaves Alberta beekeeper feeling 'helpless'

An Alberta beekeeper says he's feeling "helpless" after 57 of his beehives were stolen from several locations in Foothills County.

Jon Zwiers, who owns Honey Meadows Farm, said he visited four bee yards this week and hives were missing from each location.

He said about $30,000 worth of bees and equipment is gone.

"It's definitely rattling because we don't know who's doing it and we don't know when it will stop. You feel helpless because this is our livestock and we don't have any answers," he said.

Zwiers believes the hives were stolen between April 17 and April 30.

"We're not sure yet how we'll replace them because my hope is that still someone comes forward and says, 'I made a mistake,' and returns them.… We're just trying to make an honest living."

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
