$7/lb? Try $15 or $17

The theft of bees is not uncommon. Every year, beekeepers send their hives to California to pollenate crops and theft is common enough that some will no longer send their hives.

Bringing back memories. How I hated that show as a little tike! Along with Ding Dong School. I loved Captain Kangaroo, though.

Hive rentals can be very profitable.
Polination services are an essential part of food production

Reading that, I finally figured out what a “street player” is supposed to be. At the time, I had thought it was some sort of musician.

That took a long time. Thanks.

I can see how that would be a problem.

[Osage Orange]

Pretty easy to keep them calm...if you know what you are doing.

2020????

Whom ever stole them is long gone.

I hope they are caught and treated with severity when and if they are.

I saw the original JCS, on Broadway, but didn’t know it was also a movie. Should have guessed.

First movie had a lot of the original BW cast and was released in 1973. This clip I linked is from the 2000 remake.

Back in Pennsylvania, anyone who has information about the theft of the colonies...

Those Founders always had to bee several moves ahead.

Once upon a time, when I had 2 raspberry bushes in my yard, I had about a dozen bees hanging around it at any one time.

Babylon Bee?

Actually, many years ago when I was moonlighting as a Big Rig Driver for the Post Office, I pulled an entire load of Bees from Boston to Springfield, Mass. That had to be the lightest load that I ever hauled.

I also pulled a load for the USPS full of little baby chickens. That was not heavy either.

I felt a huge responsibility pulling living things. I had never before moved living freight, nor have I since. It was sort of neat.

I stopped driving back after a really bad Blizzard in 1996. Have not been driving ever since.

I was geared more for Slam Bam Theater.

" Bee thefts aren't completely unheard of"

That's gotta sting!

It was only a matter of time...............
