Police Arrest Man Suspected Of Stealing Five Million Bees From Quebec Beekeeper

The Canadian Press, 06 May, 2016 11:05 AM
    VICTORIAVILLE, Que. — A 36-year-old man has been arrested in the theft of five million bees in Quebec.
     
    Provincial police say the bees have not yet been found.
     
    They suspect the accused also made off late last month with 180 hives belonging to Jean-Marc Labonte, who estimated the value of everything stolen at $200,000.
     
    The man was arrested Wednesday in Mandeville, about 100 kilometres north of Montreal.
     
    The bees were hibernating for the winter and were supposed to pollinate the blueberry bushes around the Lac-Saint-Jean region before moving on to cranberry fields in July.
     
    The accused was to be arraigned today.
