POLICE are investigating the theft of 30,000 bees from an Anglesey farm.
The bees, which are described as being bred to be calm, were taken from three hives on a farm on the outskirts of Cemaes Bay sometime between July 30 and August 4.
North Wales Police rural officer Sergeant Rob Taylor confirmed on twitter on Wednesday that a total of three queens and 30,000 bees had been stolen.
Sgt Gareth Rees said: “Bees are currently of national interests and we believe the offender/s knows about bee keeping.
“We are appealing to the bee keeping community for information relating to the thefts.”
Anyone who may have information relating to the whereabouts of the bees can contact Llangefni Police Station on 101 quoting reference S117070.
