Thieves have all but cleaned out one Waikato bee keeping site, leaving apiculturists to wonder if the hives were stolen to order.
A weekend heist saw Kiwi Bee Waikato stripped of 50 hives from a Waipapa Rd site, southeast of Te Awamutu.
The situation is far from uncommon, says the National Beekeepers Association, and could be linked to the "manuka boom".
