So how do you find hives? Use an airtag scanner!

There are ANPR cameras on most A roads.
Follow the vehicle with beekeeping stickers all over it.
So many false positives, more likely to find keys, dogs, cats, handbags, purses, wallets, cars, bikes, etc etc
I'm lucky to hit half a mile of 'A' road once a week - and only if I decide to get some fresh baked bread for the nearest bakery four miles awayThere are thousands of B, C and unclassified roads in rural areas
Tell me. It takes me an hour to get the 28 miles to Carmarthen with no traffic. Add half as much again with tractors and roadwork lightsThere are thousands of B, C and unclassified roads in rural areas. Locals can travel fór miles without going near an A road or motorway.
Never know, could be children or sensitive souls on the square, you don't want to offend themWhy almost naked?

If you read my comments, at no point do I say it will stop crime or even be effective. I point out that the tags offer the greatest chance of catching someone. I also suggested that the thieves are likely from outside the area. Thieves want to make a quick escape and use A roads.

Mate, for clarity. I won't be branding or inserting tags. Hive theft is extremely rare. We are a tight knit community hear and about most cases and panic thinking its a huge problem. Where you site your out apiary is still the best option in my opinion.My family sometimes say I'm very trying
will it survive a bonfire of hives and frames?Smart water:
spray the hives. invisible to the naked human eye. But leaves a mark on the thieves person which can be seen under ultraviolet lights can’t be washed off for weeks
Each paint has a ‘forensic DNA’ which can be traced back to the item which was thieved.
and remind them to ensure they get the bonfire going ASAPDeterrent Signs at the Apiary warning thieves smart water employed.
