Bee Thief Sought

A bee farm in George is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of whoever took around 120 beehives. Columbia Pollination manager Dave Smouse says the hives were taken between April 2 and April 5 with each hive bearing the marking W A 5 4 7 which is the company’s state number. Anyone with information on the bee thief’s whereabouts is asked to call the Grant County Sheriff’s Office or Columbia Pollination.
