A few of you may recall a couple of months ago I posted about a friend of mine having had her winter stores cut out of her hives by some unknown person, sadly of her 8 colonies 4 have died since due to the stress.
Last week I went to check on the food reserves at an apiary which is in the middle of a farm, well away from the public and I found some person has seen fit to place several large chunks of chocolate in the top of the hive above the insulation. Now the bees can't get to it but I feel it must be a person with some knowledge who knew they were not going to get a face full of bees when they removed the roof. I am very perplexed as to why someone would do this. I have set my wildlife camera up looking onto the apiary to see if they return. So what weird stuff have you found ??
